To Be or Not to Be Kind


A swallow embarks in a good deeds kind of mission, instead of proceeding with its own life, and... sooner then later ... it enters the House of Death!

If I didn’t know Oscar Wilde from his witty sarcastic plays, I would have thought that this beautiful sad tale was written to bring out the best in children.
However, since I know how ironic he can be, I have a strong feeling that he wrote what he wrote to show the little ones how short is the life of pure, kind beings on planet earth

Or... maybe just this once ... OW left his mordacious bias aside, to show the youngsters that when it comes to human life, quality is supposed to beat quantity:
It’s always better living a life you can be proud of, even if it means to be short 😉

A great story is the best tutor a kid can have! 😉👍
