Produced by Internet Archive; University of Florida, Children, Sjaani and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Apricot Tree" is a moral tale published in 1851 under the direction of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. It belongs to the genre of children's literature and was likely written during the early Victorian era. The story likely explores themes of kindness, forgiveness, and the importance of moral values through the relationship between a boy named Ned and his grandmother. The narrative centers around Ned, who helps care for an apricot tree that bears fruit for the first time. His excitement stems from the prospect of selling the apricots to buy his grandmother a warm cloak for the winter. However, tragedy strikes when the tree is vandalized and its fruit stolen, presumably by a mischievous boy named Tom. Instead of seeking revenge, Ned chooses the path of forgiveness and kindness, eventually developing a friendship with Tom that leads to positive changes in both their lives. The story emphasizes the importance of empathy, compassion, and the small but impactful moral lessons surrounding forgiveness and helping others.
