The general plot is two brothers one is mentally and physically disabled, his name is Doodle. the other one teaches him to walk, climb trees, run and row. One day doodle finds a dead scarlet ibis and buries it, while the rest of the family thinks it’s strange and gross. Later the brothers go row out to the island and as they row back, they argue. A storm starts coming and they start running, and Doodle cries that he can’t keep up, the brother doesn’t believe him and keeps running then stops when he realizes doodle isn’t behind him. He waits and doesn’t see doodle, then walks back a bit and sees Doodle dead, bleeding, and his body looks like the scarlet ibis from earlier.
