Synopsis |  Text Analysis |  Explanation of the Title |  Questions for Consideration  |  Explanation of the Title The gift of understanding: The candies and the small change given by Mr.Wigden and the fish and two pennies given by the author are a kind of the gift of understanding, as the two adults understand the simplicity and innocence of the children. The kiss from his wife may be also a gift of understanding, as she appreciate her husband’s action. The “gift” of understanding may be referred to a natural ability to understand others, like the gift of music or the gift for language. However, the most important gift of understanding is the influence of Mr.Wigden on the author. What the old man had done to the child taught the author to understand the innocence of the children and had the author realize the power of the grown-up to preserve and destroy that innocence. The gift of understanding was passed on from generation to generation of human being.
