| Summary |
"His Big Opportunity" by Amy Le Feuvre is a children's novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around two young boys, Roy and Dudley, who are determined to seek out opportunities to do good deeds, navigating their often adventurous and mischievous explorations of the world around them. At the start of the story, Roy and Dudley are introduced as spirited boys keen on finding ways to help others. They engage in discussions about what constitutes an opportunity and embark on an adventure involving a stranger and their attempts to assist him. Despite their youthful enthusiasm, their good intentions sometimes lead to misunderstandings, particularly illustrated by their encounter with a sick man who refuses their help, showcasing the challenges and complexities of altruism. In the opening, we also see glimpses of their relationships with family members, including their grandmother and their aunt, as they navigate the dynamics of childhood friendships and the lessons that accompany their youthful quests for significance.
