(2) 4-6 An accident has almost cost eleven-year-old Nate his leg, making him useless for farm work. When his father brings home an orphan boy to help him work their Nebraska homestead, the new arrival heightens Nate's feelings of frustration, anger, and sadness. Each boy wants what the other has, and both boys yearn for the love of their fathers. This short tale has a quietly epic sweep.
