The Wolf-slayer -- Margaret Kaurner: a story of gold and copper coins. "The Wolf-slayer; [Margaret Kaurner]" by Christoph von Schmid is a collection of two moralistic tales likely written in the early 19th century. The book follows the story of a brave young boy named George who actively seeks to protect his community from a menacing wolf and also narrates the experiences of a young girl, Margaret, as she navigates life in the city while remaining devoted to her family virtues. This collection emphasizes themes of courage, honesty, and the importance of family bonds. The first tale, "The Wolf-slayer," recounts George's journey as he rises to heroism by trapping and ultimately slaying a wolf that terrorizes his village, earning him admiration and rewards, including a cow for his mother. The second tale, "Margaret Kaurner," unfolds through a series of letters detailing Margaret's life as a servant in the city, where she remains diligent and caring. Unexpectedly, Margaret finds herself in possession of gold coins that she initially assumes were given by mistake; however, in her honesty, she resolves to return them. This act leads to a series of events that ultimately bring blessings to her family, illustrating the virtues of kindness and righteousness. Both stories serve to inspire readers with moral lessons while portraying relatable characters and their trials.
