'Yussouf' by James Russell Lowell:-
Here is a story of real nobleman 'Yussouf-The Sheik'.it cab be helpful to follow the nobility of a person named Yussouf through the entire discussion.
Initially it shows Yussouf sitting at the door of tent having sad heart. Suddenly a stranger came to Yussouf & directly fell down at the feet of Yussouf.after so many tries he can't be able to get food or drop of water as he belonged from different community from there & at last he thought to beg help from Yussouf who considered as 'Good Man' there & anyone can fill their desires there.
Even hospitality can observers through his kind nature as he offered Ibrahim to stay there freely that gifted by God & feel like home.he entertains his guest by arranging things for further journey from there & offered horse to ride fast & reach at the place in addition to that he also gifted gold.
"As one lamp lights another, nor grows less,
So nobleness enkindled nobleness."
Yusoouf's this type of kindness awakens feeli of him which has long been doormat & moves him to make his confession. By kneeling down he bows his forehead upon Yusoouf's hand & by saying him Sheikh confesses his crime that he himself is the murderer of Yusuoof's elder son.it shows his courage to confess.
Yusuoof became motionless & shocked.his mind also struggles between revenge & forgiveness. But surprisingly he forgive Ibrahim & offered him more gold for his confession & strength to face it openly.
In short at last, Lowell tries to show that how generosity can change a person & prepare to be the same that revenge can't or never.
