The Tale
of Bartelby O’Boyle
Long ago, there was a clever man by the name of Bartelby O’Boyle. As a boy,
he was kept as a slave by the royal family. He saw other children play, but he
always had to work. This frustrated him very much. But he was not stupid, and
he wanted to change things.
Then one day there was a struggle for authority in the kingdom. There was a
division of the people, and one group fought against another group to see which
would govern the kingdom. There was disorder in the kingdom. Bartelby ran
away. He saw much fighting and destruction. Many
people had nothing to eat; Bartelby decided to aid
them. He would help them get food. But how?
Bartelby went to the capital to find
an answer. There, he met a man named
Gilliam. A group of men attempted to hurt
Gilliam. Bartelby defended him. Then,
he gave Gilliam some food to relieve
his hunger. After that, the two became
nds. They took food from the rich
ve it to the poor.
Soon, other people cooperated
them. Working together
bled them to take more food,
t they only took food from
people who had plenty, and they
always gave it to those who had
none. Because of this, Bartleby
gained a reputation across
the kingdom. Even today,
many people admire him for
helping the poor.
