Alois Begegnisse eines jungen Thierquälers oder »Der Gerechte erbarmt sich auch seines Thieres.« Eine neue Erzählung für die Jugend Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Begegnisse eines jungen Thierquälers oder »Der Gerechte erbarmt sich auch seines Thieres«" is a children's narrative written in the early 19th century. This story explores themes of morality, empathy, and the consequences of cruelty through the experiences of the main character, Karl Daruff, who exhibits a troubling penchant for animal cruelty. As his actions lead him down a troubling path, the narrative aims to impart important life lessons about compassion and the value of all living creatures. The opening of the story establishes Karl as a boy with a vivid imagination, proud of his colorful kite, as he leads his friends in flying it. However, his excitement soon turns dark when, while climbing a tree to retrieve his kite, he discovers a nest of young crows and unceremoniously decides to throw them from their home. This cruel act disturbs his onlookers and prompts a stern admonition from a nearby woodcutter. The story immediately foreshadows the repercussions of Karl's actions, as he is warned that such cruelty may harden his heart, potentially leading to further moral degradation. This introductory chapter effectively sets the tone for the narrative's exploration of redemption and the dichotomy between childhood innocence and the darker aspects of human nature.
