A Birthday Gift (1913)
Left alone by the death of her mother and the imprisonment of her father for theft, little Alice goes to live with her uncle and aunt. The latter does not take kindly to the child. The little one longing for a mother's love determines to give her aunt a birthday present. Unknown to her foster-parents, she washes dishes and does little odd jobs in the homes of the neighbors, for which she receives small sums of money. She saves the money in her bureau drawer. Her aunt finds it and comes to the conclusion that she has stolen it, following in the footsteps of her father. She tells her husband and he kindly questions Alice, who tells him how she got the money, and her object. This revelation of the child's thoughtfulness and love, brings her very closely to the hearts of her aunt and uncle, and proudly they adopt her as their own child.
