The general impression

    After reading and analyzing the text, I can say that this is a really great short story. Though the plot is quite plain and the characters are not numerous, there are described serious themes such as friendship, faith, cruelty and sorrow. The narrator managed to make the reader support and worry about the child and his little friend. I advise everyone to read this story to experience strong emotions and learn the importance of the life of living creatures, not only human beings.
