L. O. E. is a collection of moral stories written in the late 19th century. The tales aim to illustrate biblical teachings, specifically the moral lessons derived from the Book of Proverbs, focusing on themes such as obedience, family love, and the consequences of one's actions. Each story is intended for young readers, emphasizing the importance of virtue and wisdom in daily life. The opening of the book introduces a parable about two brothers, Paul and Harry Fane, highlighting the contrasting paths they take regarding their responsibilities towards their ill mother. While Paul is carefree and disobeys his mother's wishes by playing joyfully on the ice, Harry dutifully attends to her needs at home, embodying compassion and respect for parental authority. The narrative poignantly illustrates the consequences of their choices, leading to profound regret for Paul when he faces their mother's death, while Harry is left with warm memories of his love for her. Through these characters, the book sets the tone for the moral lessons that will be expressed throughout, showcasing the difference between foolishness and wisdom in action.
