Beskrivelse af Christmas Every Day and A Likely Story
"Christmas Every Day" is a charming short story written by William Dean Howells, first published in 1892.
The story is set in a small town and revolves around the idea of what would happen if Christmas were to occur every day. In the tale, a little girl wishes for Christmas to be a daily event, and her wish is granted.
At first, this seems like a dream come true as the town is filled with joy, gifts, and merriment every day. However, as time goes on, people start to realize the consequences of having Christmas every day.
The story explores the theme of appreciating special moments and the value of ordinary days in contrast to constantly seeking novelty and excitement. It offers a heartwarming lesson about the importance of balance and the beauty of the ordinary.
"A Likely Story" is another short story by William Dean Howells, written in the 19th century. This story centers around a humorous misunderstanding and the complications that arise from it.
The plot involves a young man who accidentally sends a love letter meant for one woman to another woman. The story unfolds as the young man attempts to rectify the situation and clarify his intentions, leading to comical situations and confusion.
"A Likely Story" is a lighthearted and witty exploration of miscommunication and the unexpected twists of romantic relationships.
Both of these short stories reflect Howells' talent for blending humor and social commentary, as he often used his writing to explore the nuances of human relationships and everyday life in America during the 19th century.
