Doing his military service Salvatore was dreadfully homesick. But the hardest was to be apart from the girl he loved so much. When he fell ill and learnt that it was a form of rheumatism that made him unfit for further service his heart exulted, for he could go home. The author pays special attention to the fact how strong was a wish to come back home for Salvatore and see the girl he loved. But later Salvatore founds out that his girl refused from love and the main reason was his illness.
At the end of the story Salvatore meets a woman Assunta, who is willing to marry him. After their marriage the author describes us Salvatore as a great, big husky fellow but with kindly eyes that he had as a boy. Salvatore had a portrait of a man, just an ordinary fisherman who possessed nothing in the world except a quality, which calls goodness. Despite that fact that Salvatore started a new life without his girl, the loss hurt him and stayed in his heart forever.
