Summary: "Busy Ben and Idle Isaac" by Unknown is a moral children's story written in the late 19th century. This book contrasts the lives of two boys, Benjamin and Isaac, highlighting the virtues of industry and hard work against the consequences of laziness and idleness. It serves as an instructive tale aimed at young readers, emphasizing the value of productive habits. The narrative follows Busy Ben, a diligent and industrious boy, and Idle Isaac, who prefers leisure and idleness. As they grow up, Ben's hard work leads him to success and recognition, while Isaac's lazy ways leave him poor and regretful. Ben becomes a skilled shipbuilder and is eventually knighted, while Isaac struggles to find any meaningful work, ultimately becoming the town's cats' meat man.
