One day, while the narrator and his brother, Doodle, are practicing rowing, a storm approaches. When they get back to the bank Doodle is so tired and scared that he collapses into the sand. The narrator helps him up and they attempt to race the storm back home, but Doodle's body is done in and he collapses again. He calls out for the narrator not to leave him, but the narrator has one of his strokes of maliciousness and runs ahead.
The narrator eventually feels guilty and goes back to find his brother, only to find him dead like the scarlet ibis.
