[edit]A little boy – Vache – is afraid that the village governor (administrative head) Ahab and his team might kill a big she-bear, as the latter symbolizes the sin the villagers committed: Ahab promised to marry Vache’s mother, Lela, and deceived her. The woman, abandoned and criticized by the villagers, committed suicide.
