About this book

A skating outing turns into a test of courage when Henry Lee breaks through the ice. George Williams reaches for a pole and helps him, while Edward Jones runs to fetch help. That incident opens this collection of six stories for young readers, published in 1875, in which everyday choices become lessons about character. Parents use stories of their own to explain bravery and sound judgment.

The contents include tales about telling the truth, trying again and learning to say no. In one conversation, a father recalls resisting pressure to join a fishing trip against his parent's wishes. The writing makes its moral purpose explicit, pairing tense situations with family advice and reflection. Readers interested in older children's literature will find a clear example of how short fiction taught self-control, obedience and responsibility.
