Summary of the great stone face-1
Answers
The story is of a person called Ernest, who as a child was told a prophecy about the Great Stone Face, that when time comes a man who would be the the greatest and most noble man of his generation and would resemble the Great Stone Face. Ernest over time began to see the Great Stone Face as a mentor and awaited the prophecy to be fulfilled. He grows up and becomes a young man. He is shown to be wiser and gentler than the rest of the valley inhabitants as a result of gazing at the Great Stone Face after a day of hard work and his fanciful dreams of meeting the man who resembled the Great Stone Face. At about this time a native inhabitant of the valley who had left the valley and started his own business and was rich beyond belief, a Mr Gathergold decided to return to the valley and spend his last years there. Everybody decided he was the person in which the Great Stone Face bore resemblance. Ernest did not think so and left the place where Gathergold had arrived, unhappily. A few years later, another son of the valley; now a famous commander on the field named Ol’ Blood and Thunder due to his ruthlessness on the battlefield; decided to return to the valley. A banquet was prepared, and rumours spread that he was the man who bore resemblance to Great Stone Face; by this time Mr Gathergold was dead, and the years before his death his wealth dwindled until he was a pauper, and it was generally agreed that he had no resemblance to Great Stone Face after all. Ernest was excited to finally meet the person who resembled the Great Stone Face. But after the commander arrived, Ernest was disappointed as he bore no resemblance, although everybody else saw it. He saw the Great Stone Face reassuring him that the man would come.
