The main problem
in "" was the long, dangerous journey made by Phoenix, an old woman faced with the
challenge of taking care of her sick grandson. Her grandchild swallowed lye and required
medication that was to be fetched from a distant town. Phoenix was forced to make the long and
dangerous trip to get the medication.
The journey to town was tough on the
old woman. She was forced to walk over hills and through woods where she risked being attacked
by wild animals. The thorny bushes along the way caught her skirt and slowed her down.
As the journey got tough, Phoenix imagined seeing a ghost which turned out to be a
scarecrow. Along the way she hit a black dog with her cane. The impact threw her off balance and
into a ditch. A hunter who was nearby helped her out. The journey was such an arduous task that
by the time she got to where she was going, she momentarily forgot her
objective.
