Considering the attitude at the time was 'screw the poor' not really. We've kinda gone backwards on that point (but we're catching up!)

Ah, but the tale doesn't really single out the poor for death, does it?

None of those involved had a noble's job, nor were they the kind of animal (usually bird) usually seen in the castles and courtyards.

That was too short a story, you need to get the kids interested or they won't feel sad.
