In the early morning, the boy rode a motorcycle in the village and offered to assist the villagers in their work, but they were all refused. Later, the friend came to invite the fisherman to the family to help with the harvest, and after the success of the incident, the friend's father gave the boys a task to send the motor key to the neighboring village, and the two happily went together, and the delivery time was surprised to realize that the key was not on the body. The boy hurried back to search, and although the tide was already high, he insisted on finding it, because it was a rare opportunity for him to be recognized.
