He was a tinker's boy, nine or ten, with no coat worth the name. His sister had gone out after the goats two nights since and not come back. The men of the valley had searched as far as the stone bridge and given up, but the boy would not be told to sit down.

Nan took a red ribbon from the drawer under the bar. It was the one she had worn at her own wedding, faded now at the edges, and she had kept it there for forty years because nobody had ever asked for it back. She tied it in a bow on the iron pole of the lantern over the yard gate, pulled the knot tight with her teeth, and told the boy that a lost thing can only find its way home if there is a light to walk towards.

He did not believe her, and nobody in the room did. But at first light the wind dropped, and the boy went out to the gate with a bowl of broth in his hands and saw a shape coming up the white slope, slow and stumbling, with a goat's bell ringing at its neck. It was walking towards the one red thing in all that grey.
