@davidallengreen that's fabulous. Just goes to show how insanely powerful the human brain is and how beguilingly inaccurate computers can be.
Quite the early Xmas present for you!
@greem @davidallengreen that was an indefatigable search.
Memory is a strange thing... I also remember reading that story in my childhood! I recall nothing about the anthology, only the illustration of the holy leaf and "bad things happening to a family who neglected to take for a single holy leaf".
From a data point of two, that begs the question; why would that unremarkable story be memorable?
I guess the worrying thing relating to what you say about many being the slaves of what we read when young is to think that the new generations, from a very young age, are possibly getting most of their reading material online and increasingly from AI generated material.
