| Summary | "Steve and the Steam Engine" by Sara Ware Bassett is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a boy named Steve Tolman, who, after taking a car for a joyride without permission, encounters a series of challenges that teach him about responsibility and facing the consequences of his actions. This tale situates itself against a backdrop of early industrial America, intertwining the excitement of youthful adventure with the historical development of steam technology. At the start of the narrative, Steve takes his family's car out while they are away, hoping to impress his friends by driving them to a football game. However, he finds himself stranded when the car runs out of gasoline. Alone on the roadside, he reflects on the wrongness of his decision and worries about his father's reaction. Fortunately, a friendly mechanic appears to assist him, but the encounter leads Steve to contemplate his dishonesty and the shame of having let his friends, particularly his guiding influence, down. As he learns to navigate the implications of his actions, the story hints at broader themes of morality, accountability, and the importance of self-reflection.
