One November afternoon, a child came to Rhayaders's light house studio. She was about twelve, slender, dirty, nervous and timid. In her arms she carried something. She was desperately afraid of the ugly man she had come to see but she had heard somewhere that this man would heal injured things. The man's voice was deep and lend when he spoke to her. What is it, child? She stepped forward timidy, and in her arms was a large white bird which was quite still. There were stains of blood on its whiteness. The girl placed it in his arms. I found it, Sir. Its hurt. Is it still alive?" 'Yes, Yes, I think so.' Rhayader went inside with the bird in his arms. He placed it upon a table. The girl flowered. The bird fluttered. Rhyander spread one of its large white wings. ‘Child where did you find it?’ In the wash. Sir, Hunters had been there? It is a snow goose from Canada. But how did it get here?’ The girl’s eyes were fixed on the injured bird. She said ‘Can you heal it, Sir?’ “Yes” said Rhayader. “We will try. You can help me. She has been shot, poor thing, her leg is broken and the wing too.”
