Brave son of the mountain, the bold, experienced cragsman hesitates not in the face of danger; he possesses a determination that no difficulty can daunt. But the fierce bearded vulture is not the only challenge that Wälty must face. Deception, betrayal, and imprisonment are obstacles he must contend with, and he knows that the most courageous heart and steadfast resolve will avail nothing without the assistance of God.

Despair gives way to hope, animating him with zeal and a forgiving spirit, with which comes great reward. A story of a daring boy, full of themes of sacrificial giving.
