| Summary | "Two Little Finns" by Mary E. Ropes is a children's novel written in the early 19th century. The story follows the life of two siblings, Tonie and Blonda, who live in a secluded forest cottage in Finland with their father, Grubert Reuss, a woodcutter. Faced with the challenges of poverty following the death of their mother to illness, the children are depicted as resourceful and brave, willing to maintain their home while their father travels for work. The novel explores themes of innocence, courage, and the tension between good and evil, especially as it introduces a mysterious bag of money entrusted to the children by their pastor for safekeeping. The opening of the story paints a vivid picture of the Reuss family's humble life and the strong bond between the siblings. Their father leaves for a three-day trip to the nearest town, during which the children promise to take care of their home. One evening, their pastor visits, urgently requesting their father's help in hiding a bag of money that contains funds meant for impoverished villagers affected by disease. The children, unaccustomed to danger, agree to protect the bag, but they soon find themselves besieged at home by two men with malicious intentions. Blonda and Tonie's bravery shines through as they work together to safeguard the money, illustrating their growth and the book's central theme of trusting in God amidst trials.
