The curtain rises for the second performance of the play, which takes place on the banks of a river. As the rain begins to fall, the curtain rises again, this time on the river's banks. The audience is waiting for the curtain to rise, but the rain is so heavy that it makes it impossible to do so. The curtain falls and rows of people begin to gather. The priest asks the audience what they want, and the audience replies that they want to know what the priest has to say to the fox in his family, who has been haunting his family.
