A New Day Dawns

It is long after dark when they arrive at the homestead. Martin knocks frantically on the front door. Almost immediately, the door opens. There stands Martin with his clothes, still drenched in blood. The farmer and his wife stand before him shocked. The woman screams when she sees the blood. Deep grooves are engraved on Martins pale face, from grief and suffering.

Sir, please can you help me? My baby fell off the wagon, and the iron wheels have crushed him. My wife faints continually, and I havent got anywhere else to go, Martin pleads with the farmer.
