There was once a poor boy named Dick Whittington who lived in a village without parents. He had heard stories about a big city called London where everybody was rich and the streets were paved with gold. He wanted to go there. One day, he met a friendly waggoner who gave him a lift to the city. He was amazed at the big city. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find any gold on the street. He had no money and ate no food few days. He collapsed in front of a rich and kind merchant’s house. The merchant gave him a job in the kitchen. But the cook didn’t like him and used to beat and pinch him. Dick Whittington had to sleep in a tiny room with many rats and mice which bothered him every night. Then, he decided to buy a cat by using his saving. Luckily, the clever cat was very good at catching mice and rats. One day, the merchant would go on a voyage and sell everything on his ship. Dick Whittington asked the merchant to help him sell the cat. After arriving in the destination, the merchant was invited by the king and queen to a feast. However, hundreds of rats gobbled all of the food. The merchant offered the clever cat to help the king solve the problem. The king was very happy. He gave the merchant a ship full of gold in return. Finally, the merchant gave all of the gold to Dick Whittington. He spent the money wisely and helped people. What is the moral value of the story?
