@bot can u write this in a different way The Scarlet Ibis the older brother loves his younger brother. He teaches him to walk, to play, etc. Then, one day the older a younger brother walk to a tree and the older brother gets angry and runs away. The younger brother is ill and can't run. When the younger brother attempts to run after his older brother, he runs out of air and dies. The older brother feels horrible and the younger brother dying reminded the older brother of the scarlet ibis that had died earlier in the story. Both were helpless
In the story "The Scarlet Ibis," the older brother harbors deep affection for his younger sibling. He takes on the role of a mentor, guiding him in the art of walking, playing, and various other skills. However, a significant turning point occurs when, during a visit to a tree, the older brother becomes infuriated and flees the scene. Tragically, the younger brother is physically frail and incapable of chasing after his older sibling. In a heartbreaking turn of events, the younger brother exhausts himself in an attempt to catch up to his brother, succumbing to his own limitations and passing away. This event profoundly affects the older brother, as it serves as a poignant reminder of the earlier death of a scarlet ibis within the narrative. Both these instances evoke a sense of helplessness and weigh heavily on the older brother's conscience.
