Carlo by Anonymous
"Carlo, or Kindness Rewarded" by Anonymous is a moralistic tale likely written in the late 19th century. This book serves as a children's story that focuses on themes of compassion and the rewards of good deeds. The narrative revolves around the protagonist, Ida, and her interactions with a dog named Carlo, illustrating the idea that kindness begets kindness. The story follows Ida, a kind-hearted girl who rescues a small dog, Carlo, from
cruel boys attempting to drown him. Although Ida loses Carlo to a wealthy boy named Eugene, her act of kindness brings about a surprising twist of fate. Two years later, while standing on the same bridge where she saved Carlo, Ida falls into the water and is rescued by Carlo, now a strong dog. This act of loyalty leads to a series of events where Eugene's father rewards Ida with a substantial gift that ensures her future education. The narrative ultimately conveys the message that good deeds are eventually rewarded, emphasizing the importance of altruism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
