The journey through his struggles and the relationships he develops add depth to the simple yet poignant plot. The novella begins with Yrjö reflecting on his life as he visits the graves of his deceased parents, highlighting his loneliness and yearning for connection. As he tends to the geese, he finds solace in his responsibilities and a deep bond with the animals. However, a tragic incident occurs when a gamekeeper shoots two of the geese belonging to the pastor's wife, leading to a crisis of guilt and shame for Yrjö, as he feels responsible for their care. The story unfolds with themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the power of compassion, culminating in the pastor and his wife extending kindness to Yrjö, whom they decide to adopt, thereby restoring his sense of belonging and hope for the future.
