| Summary | "Dolly and I: A Story for Little Folks" by Oliver Optic is a children's story written in the mid-19th century. This book is designed for young readers and centers around the themes of kindness, envy, and the value of sharing. It illustrates the dynamics of sibling relationships and the emotional lessons children can learn through play and interaction with their toys. The narrative focuses on two sisters, Katy and Nellie Green, highlighting the contrasts between their personalities. Katy, who exhibits traits of jealousy and selfishness, struggles to share her beautiful wax doll, Lady Jane. In contrast, Nellie demonstrates selflessness, finding joy in giving and sharing with others. The story unfolds as Katy's envy leads her into a troubling act of sabotage against Nellie's new doll, Miss Dolly. However, the tale concludes with a powerful lesson about the destructive nature of envy, as Katy ultimately suffers the consequences of her actions while Nellie's kindness is affirmed. Through simple yet profound storytelling, the book teaches young readers about the importance of empathy and the happiness that comes from being generous.
