“The Gift” – Little House on the Prairie

  • Season/Episode: Season 2, Episode 6
  • Air Date: October 27, 1975
  • Writer: Rocci Chatfield
  • Director: William F. Claxton

In “The Gift,” Laura and Mary Ingalls aim to surprise Reverend Alden with a fancy Bible for his birthday, using the Sunday school’s $1.67 treasury. Laura, ever the schemer, convinces Mary to invest in Dr. Briskin’s Homeopathic Remedies, hoping to double their money by selling them. Their sales pitches flop hilariously—Laura’s sob stories backfire, and Mary’s health quizzes scare folks off. As the birthday nears, guilt consumes them; they even fake “larangutus” to skip church. Charles forces them to confess, and Reverend Alden, in a touching twist, uses their mistake—a medicine case—as a perfect holder for his cherished, worn Bible. His sermon on love over material gifts lifts their spirits, proving good intentions trump gold lettering. This heartwarming episode blends humor and redemption, showcasing Walnut Grove’s tight-knit community and the Ingalls sisters’ earnest, if misguided, hearts.

Some quotes I personally chose:

  • “Laura: We just wanted to get Reverend Alden the best Bible that we could.”
  • “Alden: The question is, have you learned anything from this mistake?”
  • “Alden: This old Bible’s like love.”
  • “Alden: It’s the gift of love that’s the greatest gift of all.”
  • “Laura: Please, pa. We didn’t mean to do it.”
The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.
