Lesson in Charity and Moral Evening Wisdom
An eighteen to twenty-year-old student and his professor witness a poor worker’s distress. They secretly place coins in two shoes, sparking the laborer’s gratitude and a life lesson for the youth: it is better to give than to receive. The piece then offers moral guidance on sleep, health, and self control, followed by assorted short anecdotes and reflections.
