Peter of Harlem

Peter, a young boy whose father works as a sluicer,


shares his lunch with a blind man and then sets out
to pick flowers for his sick mother. Along the way, he
discovers a hole in the dyke that could lead to
disastrous flooding. Despite being alone and afraid,
Peter bravely sticks his finger in the hole to prevent
the water from escaping, knowing that if he removes
it, disaster will strike. Through his unwavering
determination and selflessness, Peter ultimately
saves his town from flooding, demonstrating the
power of individual courage and responsibility.
Peter's story is truly remarkable and inspiring. Despite
being just a child, he displayed extraordinary bravery and
a sense of responsibility far beyond his years. His
selflessness in sharing his lunch with the blind man reflects
his compassionate nature, while his quick thinking and
decisive action in plugging the hole in the dyke saved his
town from disaster.

It's fascinating to see how Peter's character develops


throughout the story, from his initial act of kindness to his
unwavering determination and courage in the face of
danger. His willingness to sacrifice his own comfort and
safety for the greater good is a testament to his strength
of character.
The story also highlights the importance of
individual initiative and the impact that one
person can have on the course of history. Peter
may have been just a child, but his actions had
a profound eff ect on the fate of his town and
country.

It's stories like these that remind us of the


power of courage, compassion, and
determination, and the enduring legacy of
those who demonstrate these qualities in the
