Omschrijving

The Miraculous Pitcher is a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, originally published in 1837. The story follows a young boy named Epimetheus and his mother, who live in poverty and struggle to make ends meet. One day, a mysterious old man arrives at their doorstep and offers them a miraculous pitcher that never runs dry. The only catch is that they must keep it a secret and never let anyone else know about it.Epimetheus and his mother are overjoyed at the prospect of never going hungry again, but as time goes on, they begin to realize the true cost of their newfound wealth. They become greedy and selfish, hoarding the pitcher's contents for themselves and refusing to share with anyone else. Eventually, their selfishness leads to their downfall, and they are forced to confront the consequences of their actions.The Miraculous Pitcher is a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and selfishness, and the importance of sharing and generosity. Hawthorne's vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling make this classic tale a timeless and thought-provoking read for readers of all ages.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: A Wonder-Book for Boys and Girls, by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
