The story was told to Mrs. Devine by Father Lucien Larre, a priest in Saskatchewan and a founder of Bosco Homes, a home for delinquent boys. "WHY DIDN'T WE HOLD HANDS SOONER?" The story takes place in southern Saskatchewan in the fall of the year, just prior to harvest, when the wheat grows to a height of three to four feet. A few years ago a young farmer was working out in the field on his combine. He was putting in some new teeth while his four-year old son played in the dirt. After a while the father looked up and noticed that his son was not in the same place where he saw him last. He put down his tools and walked around trying to locate him. He looked out across the field and realized his son had wandered out into the wheat. The young father then went out and started to look for the child, calling his name over and over again. After a short time, the father began to worry and went back into the house to tell his wife. They walked around the field until noon, calling the boy's name with no success. The parents returned to the house and put in a long ring. For those of you who still remem ber the party line, a long ring would alarm everyone in the area of an emergency or something of importance. People came from miles and miles around to help this young couple look for their son. They looked all afternoon, all night and the entire next day. On the third day, they were standing in the yard. The young father had his hands down in despair; his shirt was open, and he was obviously exhausted. In frustration he said, "Why don't we all join hands and walk out into the wheat?" There was complete silence as the people joined hands. They then walked out arm-in-arm into the wheat field. They had gone no more than 10 steps when they found the boy. It was too late; he was gone. The young man came back into the yard, looked to his wife and said, "If only we had held hands sooner."
