There’s just something about old children's stories that I think is terribly lacking nowadays. The children this book is aimed at are not talked down to and I think that’s very important

Great story. So much meaning in so little words. Unreal.

“As he is no longer beautiful, he is no longer useful”

I’ve read this before and it’s just as depressing as I remember it.  It’s a short story of love, friendship, helping the poor & the needy, & being selfless.
