Though the story is brief, it is impactful. It clearly paints the scene of a young local boy–what his part of the world looks like with bits of their culture sprinkled in. The locals who have not become Christians try to convince his family to return to praying to the evil spirits they worship, but to no avail.
The only even slightly cautionary note to make is that the boy gets bitten by a snake. Otherwise, it’s a short and sweet tale of standing firm in the faith!
