02:00Stories have a beginning, middle and end, but the distances between beginning and end, between story and life, can sometimes be deceptive, especially when viewed through the shifting prisms of the Twilight Zone.
02:14Come on.
02:15Who is that man?
02:27Man, it just may be someone I knew very many years ago.
02:34Oh, it was...
02:36It was the fall of 1933.
02:41I was fresh out of college, just 22.
02:43I was taking my first teaching assignment in a small Appalachian town, Powder Ridge, West Virginia.
03:13Here you go, ma'am.
03:20Oh, thank you.
03:21You should put all your shoes in the one bag.
03:24Oh, and not shoes, books.
03:26Miss Livingston.
03:27Yes, I'm Dorothy Livingston.
03:29Oh, you must be Mrs. Darkweiler, Roberta.
03:32Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you.
03:34Oh, it's nice to meet you, too.
03:35You best give that one here, son.
03:37Oh, do as the gentleman says would.
03:39Yes, sir, Mrs. Darkweiler.
03:40Oh, I didn't realize you'd be leaving so soon.
03:43I have so many questions.
03:44Well, I'm afraid my sister's baby isn't willing to wait.
03:47Oh.
03:48Now, don't worry.
03:48There is nothing that you need to know that isn't in the notes I left you on my desk.
03:52Well, assistant...
03:52Get on board now, ma'am.
03:53Oh, now, don't worry.
03:55These three months are going to fly by, and by the time I get back, you're going to wish I would have stayed away forever.
04:01Oh.
04:03Oh, something else not covered in my notes.
04:06Something important.
04:07There's a boy, a primary grader.
04:11His name is Micah.
04:12Micah Frost.
04:14Now, he's going to want to be able to use the school library very often.
04:17You must never deny him access to the library.
04:21Never.
04:22Do you understand?
04:37Yes, mother.
04:47It's very clean.
04:49And the bed is firm.
04:50I checked first thing.
04:52Listen, I'm going to have to go soon.
04:54This is very expensive.
04:56I know.
04:59I'm going to miss our after supper talks, too.
05:02I'll call you at first thing next Sunday and let you know how everything went, okay?
05:08I will.
05:10I love you, too.
05:12Very much.
05:14Very much.
05:17Good night, mother.
05:19Good night.
05:20All right, everyone.
05:46Everyone, simmer down now.
05:48All right, come on, come on, take your seats.
05:52All right.
05:52All right.
05:57Okay.
06:00Daniel Elledge?
06:01Present.
06:03Okay.
06:04Nathaniel Elledge?
06:07Present.
06:07Present.
06:12Micah Frost.
06:14Present.

06:25While the expanding colonies were growing wealthy and independent, Britain maintained
06:30that the colonies existed solely for its own profit and were to be tightly ruled by
06:34the king in parliament back in England.
06:36Up until 1763, however, control over the colonies was fairly lax.
06:46But after France was defeated in the French and Indian Wars, Britain decided to restore control
06:52and tax the colonies to help pay for the war.
06:55In addition to numerous new taxes imposed on the colonists, a standing army was to be sent
07:03to America, to be quartered at colonial expense, and settlement beyond your own Appalachian
07:09mountains was forbidden.
07:12Micah Frost.
07:16Micah Frost?
07:17Yes, ma'am.
07:23Can you tell me the natural border the British chose beyond which colonial settlement was
07:28forbidden?
07:30No, ma'am.
07:32I can't.
07:33I just mentioned it a moment ago.
07:39The Appalachians.
07:40I suggest you put your other work aside for later and listen to the lesson at hand.
07:52In 1765.
07:53Come on, hurry up!
07:56We're coming!
08:10Whoa!
08:20Whoa!
08:22Uh.
08:24Hmm.
08:35Yeah.
08:36No, no, no.
09:06Micah? Micah? Time to go home.
09:31Hi, Miss Livingston.
09:32Hi.
09:36So in order to add the two fractions,
10:01we must first determine the common denominator.
10:04Who'd like to try that for us?
10:10Mossy?
10:10Okay.
10:15¡Gracias!
10:45¡Mica!
10:47¡Mica!
10:49¡Mica, uh!
10:51¡May I see you down here a minute?
10:55¡Mica, I've been going over the school records,
11:11and as far as I can tell, Mrs. Dottweiler hasn't had a conference with your parents in quite some time.
11:17I was wondering if you could shed some light on that.
11:19My parents died in an accident in our truck more than a year ago.
11:25I'm sorry.
11:27Who's taking care of you?
11:29It's just me and my grandfather now.
11:32I see.
11:34Well, would you ask your grandfather if he could stop by the schoolhouse some afternoon soon?
11:38I'd like to talk to him.
11:40No.
11:41He...
11:42He...
11:43He couldn't.
11:44He's...
11:45He's got too much to do.
11:46I see.
11:47Uh...
11:48Please tell him then that I'll stop by and see him sometime soon.
11:51You can't do that.
11:52¡Mica!
11:53Just write a note.
11:54A note.
11:55That's what Mrs. Dottweiler does.
11:57I promise, he'll read it.
11:59Well, I'm afraid that won't do in this case.
12:01You can't see him.
12:02You can't.
12:03And the princess heard the lion and the brambles, but she couldn't see it.
12:20But she knew it was hungry, and she knew it was coming closer to her.
12:27Vale!
12:28Do you need Helen?
12:30And...
12:31Uhm?
12:33Ah.
12:34Oh!
12:35Ah!
12:36Just want to come here...
12:39Thirty, ao los días!
12:40¡Gracias!
13:10But she knew it was hungry.
13:13And she knew it was coming closer to her.
13:19Good night, Granddad.
13:40How much did you hear?
13:44Just the very last.
13:46Micah, I apologize.
13:48When I stepped up here, it was not my intention to eavesdrop.
13:57Micah, why don't you tell me what's going on?
14:10The man in there?
14:12The man I call my grandfather?
14:14Yes.
14:17Well, he's not my grandfather.
14:20He's my great-great-great-grandfather.
14:24Born in 1793.
14:27He's 141 years old.
14:30Micah.
14:34I've never heard of anyone, well, anyone outside of the Bible
14:39living past 110.
14:41How...
14:42I keep him alive.
14:45Like my daddy did.
14:47And my daddy's daddy.
14:50And his daddy before him.
14:53I keep him alive by...
14:59By telling him stories.
15:02Stories?
15:04Not whole stories.
15:06But stories left in the middle.
15:09Left that...
15:10So he's got to stay alive.
15:12Got to live till the next day to find out what happens.
15:17Micah, stories don't keep someone alive.
15:22But they do.
15:25Every night I finish a story from the night before.
15:29Then I start a new one.
15:31Always leaving off at some middle spot.
15:33Some spot where he's aching and know what's going to happen next.
15:40I used to sit with my daddy when he told the stories.
15:45Told him I'd listen, too.
15:47And learn.
15:49Because in ten years or so, it was going to be my turn.
15:53Then, and he and mom and dad at an old Simpson Bridge.
16:05Came to be up to me that very day.
16:10Have been ever since.
16:11You make up a story all by yourself, every day?
16:21Got to.
16:25Micah, even if it is your stories that keep him alive,
16:31everybody has their time here on Earth.
16:34Wouldn't it be wrong to keep such an old man alive in such a way?
16:40I remember lying in bed lots of nights.
16:43He and my mama argue about that same thing, my daddy.
16:47But my daddy always said
16:49that as long as granddad was clear-headed and comfortable,
16:54it was unthinkable for us.
16:58Well, his family had to do everything we could to keep him with us.
17:04Now, that's my responsibility.
17:11Like it was my daddy's.
17:13I'm the man of the house now.
17:34I'm the man of the house now.
17:35I'm the man of the house now.

20:25He's alright, he's alright.
20:26He broke an arm in a fall from a tree.
20:29Apparently it's nothing serious.
20:30He's with the doctor now.
20:34That boy's quite a climber.
20:39He's a real frost.
20:42I never met a male frost yet
20:45who wasn't most comfortable
20:47perched way up higher than anybody else.
20:51Did the doctor say what time the boy was likely to be home?
21:00He won't be coming home tonight, Mr. Frost.
21:09He's going to be staying with the doctor and his wife until the morning.
21:21He's going to be staying with the doctor.
21:51He's going to be staying with the doctor.
22:21He's going to be staying with the doctor.
22:52It's all in there.
22:53But I didn't think that you believed...
22:56I'm still not convinced that it's the stories that keep your great-great-great-grandfather alive.
23:02But I thought just in case.
23:06I finished my three-month teaching assignment in Powder Ridge.
23:21gave all the books I'd brought with me to Micah as a gift, got on the bus and have never been back.
23:29There have been a number of times over the past 50 years when I've wondered just what became of that odd little boy and the old man.
23:39But if the old man were 141 in 1933, he'd have to be close to 200 now.
