Solution

The Bachelor - The bachelor, at first seems to dislike the children due to their constant restlessness. When he realizes that their aunt has failed to keep them quiet by telling a story he finally decides to do it himself. He has an excellent skill in story-telling but lacks moral values. In the end, it almost seems that he told an improper story on purpose so that the children would trouble the aunt more.
