The man brings on some meat, which they tear at and devour. The man, with greedy instincts, goes and hides the remainder of the meat beneath some stones. The daughter follows him and sees the biding place. A stranger comes to the hut, clad in skins. He has just rescued a little lamb from beneath a fallen log, under which it had been caught. He takes the lamb to the water and bathes its wounded leg and notes with joy its capering as it runs off. The stranger comes to the hut and asks for a morsel of food and is refused, but the girl has seen the man's face, has noted its purity and sweetness, and has been strangely impressed. The stranger goes a short distance and falls with exhaustion. She sees this and runs to the hiding place, and getting the meat, gives it to the fainting stranger. It revives him, hut the father meets the girl and beats her with his club. He is stopped by the pilgrim, who impresses him and who points out to him the wrong he is doing. For the first time the man of strength is dominated, his will bent, and he puts the stranger's hand on his shoulder and leads him to his home. There they find the woman beating the wretched girl. Again the wonderful voice and the eyes of the pilgrim work their wonderful fascination and the pilgrim watches the family enter their hut together. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
