If you were asked by someone with greater means than yourself if you would be willing to let them adopt your son, what would you say? This is the dilemma proposed in this story. This story was written in a place and time where the role of children within a family may be different than in the 21st century. Would you hold your child tight, or give them a chance at something you could never give? Narrated by Glenn Hascall

Guy de Maupassant
Author · 242 books
Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was a popular 19th-century French writer. He is one of the fathers of the modern short story. A protege of Flaubert, Maupassant's short stories are characterized by their economy of style and their efficient effortless dénouement. He also wrote six short novels. A number of his stories often denote the futility of war and the innocent civilians who get crushed in it - many are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s.
