E cam lung, părțile subliniate se pot omite la nevoie. Probabil că Lord Anthony Ashley-Cooper al 7-lea Earl de Shaftesbury e subiectul.
Cine a fost Earl Shaftesbury?

In Victorian Britain, lived Lord Anthony Ashley-Cooper, the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury. He was known as the Reforming Lord Shaftesbury and the Poor Man's Earl, and was indeed a very good man. He spent his life helping the poor, the children, the helpless and really anyone who was in need of help.
Many poor children lived in England in those days. There were no public schools, and children had to work instead of going to school.
Amongst the most ill fated were the little chimney sweepers. The fireplaces were so narrow, only a small child could fit inside.
And so when the master sweeper went to a place, he had a boy with him. The little guy had to remove all his clothes, and would then be sent inside of the narrow fireplace. If the child was too scared to go in, he would be beaten. Very hard work, with climbing and cleaning at the same time, was involved. The activity lasted all day long. At night, dirty and tired, the child went to bed on a bag of soot. It is said that in a whole year some children wouldn’t take one single bath.
Lord Ashley felt very bad for these little boys. So, he spoke on their behalf in the Parliament, until a new law was adopted to the effect that no child would be sent to the chimney cleaning work again. Their masters had to do without them, perhaps by finding better chimneys sweeping methods.
This law changed the lives of many children; however, the Earl knew that there were yet other children who were suffering too, working in factories from dawn till dusk. They could not play, and they never went to school.
Still other children lived and worked in mines every day. They did not get to see the light of day, with the exception of Sundays, when they were brought back to the surface. Together with his friends, the good Lord Ashley eventually managed to ease their situation, as Parliament passed a law and no boy or girl was allowed to work in factories and mines any longer.
The Earl of Shaftesbury was also very fond of animals. He did not like seeing the cart-pulling donkeys in London being ill treated. Neither did he like tramps on the streets of London. He announced that he would give prizes for the best-kept donkeys. Not long after this announcement got out, London’s donkeys turned the best looking in the country.
Lord Ashley had a beautiful donkey with his name marked on it’s back. If a man was too poor to buy a donkey for carrying their goods to the market, the Earl would lend them the marked donkey. The man was thus sure to have a good sale, because many people would eagerly buy apples and potatoes from the Earl.
Being a friend to all who had problems, the Earl was fearless, too. He, once, set an extraordinary meeting. He spoke to four hundred thieves. He was not afraid at all. He spoke to them and explained that he could help them become honest men. Some of the thieves were very happy at the idea of getting a chance of a better life. And so the Earl sent them overseas, where they started a better and more useful life.
When Earl Shaftesbury died, it was a tremendous loss. People from all ways of lives were grieving all over England. He had spent his entire life doing good deeds.
Succes!
