(Timothy Shay) 1809 1885 Arthur, Timothy Shay Uncle Herbert Herbert, Uncle Who Are Happiest? and Other Stories E-text prepared by David Edwards, Carolyn Bottomley, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by the State University System of Florida PALMM Project (http://palmm.fcla.edu/) "Who Are Happiest? and Other Stories" by T. S. Arthur is a collection of moral tales written in the mid-19th century. The stories focus on various characters facing trials and temptations that reveal deeper truths about happiness, contentment, and human nature. One central character introduced is Mr. Aiken, who grapples with envy over a wealthier neighbor, prompting a discussion about the true sources of happiness between him and his wife. The opening of this collection begins with a dialogue between Mr. and Mrs. Aiken, where he expresses his discontent with his modest life compared to that of his affluent neighbor, Mr. Freeman. Mrs. Aiken counteracts his envy by highlighting the blessings of hard work and a loving family, suggesting that happiness is not tied to wealth but rather to one's state of mind and contentment with life's simpler pleasures. As Mr. Aiken reflects on their discussion, he witnesses a devastating fire that consumes Mr. Freeman's new factory, leading him to reconsider his earlier feelings of envy and recognize the true peace he enjoys in his own life. This opening sets the thematic stage for the other stories in the collection, which similarly explore moral lessons relevant to personal happiness and societal values.
