What moral lesson does the poem teach us?
✓

Answer

  • The poem ‘A Legend of the Northland’ has a message though it is an imaginative story.
  • It teaches us that we should not be greedy and selfish.
  • True happiness comes from sharing and doing charity especially to the needy.
  • We are lucky to have things we need but there are many people around us who need us to be kind and generous to share what we can with them.
  • Generosity is a virtue and as we dwell in the human form we must have this virtue.
  • There is more joy in giving than in receiving. If we share we make friends and receive blessing.
  • However, if we are greedy we invite people's curses.
