If you have read all the stories attentively you cannot fail to have discovered that there is one general idea pervading them all. All heroes are differently situated, and are led into different paths, but all of them are meeting life manfully, and overcoming by pluck and patience the obstacles which they find in their way. Those who sit down, and wait passively for fortune to shower her gifts upon them, are likely to wait a long time.
