Question

Edla's empathetic and compassionate behaviour changed the life of the rat trap seller .Do you think that an act of kindness can change a person's view of the world?

Answer 1

Undoubtedly, Edla's empathy and kindness changed the life of the vagabond rattrap seller. Edla was a clever judge of human character. The moment she saw the rattrap seller whom her father had mistaken for an old acquaintance, she read him rightly. She knew he was either a thief or an unreliable character; however, she persuaded him to accompany her to her house to spend the Christmas Eve with them. She took his side when her father asked him to leave the house after the revelation. Her kindness and caring nature transformed the unscrupulous vagabond into a good human being. She was extremely delighted at the letter and the gift that the rattrap seller left for her. She was a great human being.  

There is great transforming power in the act of kindness. There are many fictional and real life stories which reveal us how compassion and kindness changed bad people into good human beings; these stories teach us the lesson of being kind.
