The Rich Boy's Christmas
Read 'The Rich Boy's Christmas' by 'Ellis Parker Butler' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
And now behold this sulking boy,
His costly presents bring no joy;
Harsh tears of anger fill his eye
Tho’ he has all that wealth can buy.
What profits it that he employs
His many gifts to make a noise?
His playroom is so placed that he
Can cause his folks no agony.
MORAL:
Mere worldly wealth does not possess
The power of giving happiness.
