The reason I think this was the first story of the course was because it shows us (the reader) about having compassion for others even if you don’t personally know the person, also to include others. The story shows how the people of the village find a body of a man washed up on the shore dead. These people took him in and saw that he was huge for a man he couldn’t fit on a chair on the bed, the women and men of the village were impressed by his sheer size.
