The Triumph of Surgery

The story metaphorically teaches children about the consequences of eating for pleasure rather than need, and warns against indulging in a junk-food culture and giving in to peer pressure to eat unhealthy food without thinking.

Tricki is an overly pampered small dog in the story 'A Triumph of Surgery'.

The story targets the overindulging habits of rich parents who spoil their children with expensive and unwanted items, which ultimately cause greater harm to the children in the long run.

The story advises students to have a balanced diet, engage in physical exercise every day, and refrain from overindulgence in unhealthy food, similar to the recovery process of Tricki in the story.

Tricki was treated by a veterinary surgeon, Mr. Herriot, who advised to cut down the dog’s food intake. Tricki recovered with this treatment and advice, which Ms. Punphrey called 'A Triumph of Surgery'.
