The Lost Kitty

Written in 1867 and clearly intended for pre-adolescent children. A cute story about a lost kitty. A lost kitty turns up at the house of a young boy and his sister at the start, but this incident is merely used to springboard into a series of dull Christian lessons about being grateful to God and anyone who does you a good turn. Also, the boy's mother teaches her son to be thankful by pointing out people worse off than him - a crippled child, a school friend with a drunk father etc.
