| Summary | "Two Festivals" by Eliza Lee Cabot Follen is a collection of children's moral stories written in the early to mid-19th century. The book captures the celebrations and values surrounding two important festivities—May Day and New Year's Eve—focusing on themes of kindness, courage, and community spirit. The tales provide both entertainment and life lessons that are timeless and resonate with the ideals of family and friendship. The first story, "May Morning and New Year's Eve," depicts a group of children celebrating May Day amidst unforeseen rain, illustrating their resilience and joy in the face of disappointment. As they gather in an old barn, the story highlights moments of camaraderie, shared dreams, and the importance of looking out for one another. The second story, "The Birthday," narrates the heartfelt celebration of Grace Darling's birthday, ultimately pivoting to a heroic act of selflessness during a storm. The final tale, "A True Story," recounts a young boy's perilous experience at sea and emphasizes themes of bravery, love, and the strength of human connection. Overall, "Two Festivals" beautifully encapsulates lessons in empathy, courage, and the significance of celebrating communal bonds amidst life's challenges.
