Features: Herbert lost his mother when he was only 14 years old and became an orphan. He wanted to join his uncle in New York, but his selfish and snobbish uncle and aunt were unwilling to take him in. As a result, Herbert had to rely on short-term jobs in his hometown. Due to his integrity and honesty, he refused to deceive his employers, which led to him offending his boss, Aberle. To avoid Aberle's revenge, he had to leave his hometown and came to New York to make a living. During this time, he received help from his mentor, Ralph, and also sincerely and kindly helped a blind man named Carlo. Although he encountered many dangers and twists along the way, Herbert, with his courage, kindness, wit, and enthusiasm, eventually turned everything around and earned the trust of everyone. As a reward, Carlo helped him find a job in New York. Herbert's wish was finally fulfilled, but this was not the end—more good luck was still waiting for him.
