| Summary | "The Penitent Boy; or, Sin Brings Sorrow" by Daniel P. Kidder is a moralistic tale written in the mid-19th century. This book can be classified as a children's story that aims to impart ethical lessons, specifically about honesty and the consequences of sin. Set within the context of a Victorian-era upbringing, it explores themes of personal responsibility and spiritual redemption. The narrative centers around two young boys, Alfred and Samuel, who are involved in a troubling incident concerning a new knife. When Alfred loses the knife and subsequently lies to cover it up, he grapples with guilt and shame, ultimately leading him to seek forgiveness from God. Through heartfelt conversations with his mother and reflections on his actions, Alfred learns the importance of truthfulness and the redemptive power of repentance. The story culminates in a reaffirmation of Alfred’s commitment to honesty, highlighting moral integrity as essential for a virtuous life. The book serves as both a cautionary tale and a comforting guide for children navigating the complexities of right and wrong. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
