It Pays to Be Generous is a story that is part of a series of stories on teaching children good morals without them realizing that they are being taught. The teaching comes from a fictitious family of kids know as the "Moral Kids." The Moral Kids live in the town of Moralville, named after their great-great-grandfather, who settled Moralville, and the children attend Moralville Elementary School. The children live on a 100-acre parcel of land with their mother and father just outside of town. The setting is the rolling hills of today's New England. The names of the Moral Kids are: Jace, Annaliese, Kenny, Piper Kate (Cousin), and Abby (Cousin). Each story stars one or all of the children at a time. The intent of the book is to teach children through the life experiences of the Moral Kids. Each story addresses one moral for living a good life. It seems that in these present times that good morals are no longer taught in schools or in the family units. The inspiration for my writing comes from observing the lives and conduct of my great-grandchildren. I hope to help children of all ethnic groups to become honorable and courteous adults by learning and applying good morals in their lives. About the Author Rev. Ralph E. Flaskamp is now seventy-two years old. In those seventy-two years of life he has learned many things that he enjoys sharing with others. Flaskamp comes from a family of six, which included three brothers. He was born and grew up in Cumberland, Maryland in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains. His fondness for hunting, fishing, and the love for the outdoors finds its roots in that beautiful location.

He has stayed busy through his hobbies as a metalsmith, painter, and writer. He also enjoys metal detecting. He has been blessed with a large family and enjoys spending time with them. His close involvement with people has allowed him to take notice of the sharp decline in the morality of the churched and the unchurched not only in this country but throughout the world.
