Summary "Bob, the cabin-boy" by Anonymous is a moral tale written during the late 19th century. The book can be classified as a children's story that emphasizes themes of kindness, compassion, and the impact of a good upbringing. It explores the experiences of a young boy who faces adversity and loss but maintains his integrity and goodwill towards others. The story follows Bob, who becomes an orphan after the death of his mother. Taken in by a kind neighbor, he eventually finds work as a cabin-boy on a ship. Despite the rough nature of the crew and the harsh treatment from the cold captain, Bob remains dedicated to his mother's teachings of kindness. His persistent compassion leads him to care for the sick captain, fostering a transformation in the captain's character as they bond over discussions of faith and morality. The narrative culminates with the captain's demise, wherein he passes away with a prayer, prompted by Bob’s influence, leaving a poignant message about the power of kindness in even the darkest situations.
