The boy's name was Santiago. Dusk
was falling as the boy arrived with his
herd at an abandoned church. The roof
had fallen in long ago, and an
enormous sycamore had grown on the
spot where the sacristy had once stood.
He decided to spend the night there. He
saw to it that all the sheep entered
through the ruined gate, and then laid
some planks across it to prevent the
flock from wandering away during the
night. There were no wolves in the
region, but once an animal had strayed
during the night, and the boy had had to
spend the entire next day searching for it.
