The New Blue Dress Summary
A small good act of a person can make others good. It can change the entire complexion of the surroundings. The present story ‘The New Blue Dress” illustrates this.
Gates Avenue was a short and dirty street in Cleveland. The inhabitants of that street were poor. They never tried to improve their living conditions and better their standard of living. There was no tap water supply in Gates Avenue. There were no street lights. There was also no good pavement.
There was a little girl studying in a school in Gates Avenue. She used to wear the same dress during the spring because she had no other dress to wear. Her parents were too poor to buy a pair of new dress to her.
One day the teacher advised the little girl to keep, at least, her face clean. The girl washed her face clean and came to the class the next morning. She looked more beautiful and tidier. The teacher was pleased. She gave the girl a new blue dress. Her parents saw her in her new blue dress and they were also highly pleased. Since then the members of the family started keeping everything clean and tidy. They washed the floor, repaired the fence and made a garden. The neighbours also followed the same. The surroundings were kept clean. They painted their houses.
After a few days, a young minister of a church passed that way. With his help Gates Avenue got a good pavement, tap-water supply and a street light on the corner.
Within six months Gates Avenue was completely changed. It turned into a neat street where respectable citizens lived.
The new blue dress presented by a teacher to a poor girl could change the entire dirty street into a neat one. So we learn from this incident “A good act shall never go unrewarded”.
Conclusion:
The new blue dress presented by a teacher to a poor girl could change the entire dirty street into a neat one. So we learn from this incident “A good act shall never go unrewarded”.
