The story begins with two servants alluding to one's worry that the child in the house will tell his mother than he used an ethnic slur regarding his father.
The child (4) has a habit of running away and his mother finds him down on the dock. She plays with him and cleverly gets him to admit what he heard said by the servant although he misunderstood the actual slur. But he did not misunderstand the meanness of it. His mother makes light of it, hoping I think that he will not continue to run away from things that frighten him. So much in so few words.
