The Moral Kids Series: It Pays to Be Generous By: Rev. Ralph E. Flaskamp It Pays to Be Generous is a story that is part of a series of stories on teaching children good morals without them realizing that they are being taught. The teaching comes from a fictitious family of kids know as the Moral Kids. The Moral Kids live in the town of Moralville, named after their great-great-grandfather, who settled Moralville, and the children attend Moralville Elementary School. The children live on a 100-acre parcel of land with their mother and father just outside of town. The setting is the rolling hills of todays New England. The names of the Moral Kids are: Jace, Annaliese, Kenny, Piper Kate (Cousin), and Abby (Cousin). Each story stars one or all of the children at a time. The intent of the book is to teach children through the life experiences of the Moral Kids. Each story addresses one moral for living a good life. It seems that in these present times that good morals are no longer taught in schools or in the family units. The inspiration for my writing comes from observing the lives and conduct of my great-grandchildren. I hope to help children of all ethnic groups to become honorable and courteous adults by learning and applying good morals in their lives.
