The story

As punishment for making snide remarks during the family's dinner grace prayer, Tamihana assigns grandson Simeon household chores.

The following day, Tamihana tasks Simeon with transporting a slain sheep to family at a distant shearing station.

Tamihana later allows Simeon and his other grandchildren to go to the local cinema to see the Western film 3:10 to Yuma.
