This sorry is set on two farms in a village. Harry, a young boy, is sent by his father Mr. Thorburn to take care of a young, sick sheep. While Harry is taking care of the sick sheep on the other farm, an erne swoops down and carries one of the other sheep away. Harry's father refuses to believe this unless he sees the erne with his own two eyes; Harry then embarks upon his journey to kill the erne and bring it back to his father.
By the end of the story, Harry has proven himself to be a capable young man to his father. All the careless remarks Mr. Thorburn says to his son, leave Harry feeling inferior and unless. Harry has risked his life only overcome this humiliation his father has caused and to prove to his dad that he is good enough. Harry does endanger himself when trying to kill the huge erne; however, he is willing to go to such lengths to prove himself and is capabilities to his dad. I as well have gone through troubling times and regretted decisions; however those moments have given me the opportunity to grow and learn more about how to handle situations. I believe that although these times can seem like they're changing people for the worst, there is always a positive side to the outcome and lessons that can be learned.
