The Lesson

In the lesson the Sylvia, the child who wants everything because she just wants to have it and not to use it for what it is, learns a ‘lesson’ by the end of the short story. ‘This Lesson;’ is taught by Miss Moore who is the caretaker of children who need to learn lessons. The lesson that is taught to Sylvia is the fact that people who are luckier than them can get a toy at a store and that money that those ‘lucky kids’ used on the toy can be given to a family with seven children, and they could be fed for an entire year.
