GENERAL COMMENTS
The books is directed towards children and, based on the events in the story (young boy helping and being friendly with the beggar even though other people were not supportive of that), it is supposed to teach young Copts about the true Christian values - to help the poor, not to discriminate and to accept everyone regardless of their social and economic class.
