New Lights on Old Paths

"New Lights on Old Paths" by Charles Foster is a collection of stories that shares moral lessons perfect for kids. It's like a modern look at good old values, showing how the important rules we've always had can help us today. The book uses stories and pictures to teach readers about making good choices. The first story is about an innkeeper trying to run a successful business. He has to decide if he should welcome honest farmers or wild people, and the innkeeper must choose how he will behave. The innkeeper decides to welcome the farmers because they are well behaved and support his business, and this shows the book's focus on doing the right thing even when it's hard.
