“Nicola and Jacopo’s selfless action brought a new nobility to human life, gave promise of a greater hope for human society.” After reading the story you were overwhelmed and were filled with a new found respect for such children who show exemplary courage. How much is it relevant in the present scenario when humanity seems to be at cross- roads?

Modern society is driven by corrupt and selfish motives. Self-centered attitude has so deeply penetrated in society that even blood relations can't hold for long. At such crossroads where humanity seems to have vanished, Nicola and Jacopo appear to be exemplary characters. They took fatherly responsibility of their sister. They worked day in and day out at such a tender age because of extreme love for their sister. The determination they exemplify is commendable and act as an eye opener in a society where people have stopped caring for each other.
