The Newsboy Johnny and the Red Riding Hood Doll
A New York newsboy named George Allston nicknamed Johnny helps a fashionable duo, buys a Red Riding Hood doll with a quarter, and earns five ten dollar notes after a clever coin appraisal by a mysterious old gentleman. His sister Viva and widow Allston receive Christmas surprises including meat, turkey, and magazines, funded by George’s thrift. The tale blends holiday charity with a streetwise boy’s clever deals and a memorable Christmas Eve.
