Answer: Later in the story, the narrator races ahead and leaves Doodle to struggle behind during a terrible storm.
Explanation:
In "The Scarlet Ibis", a short story by novelist James Hurst, the Narrator, called Brother, relates the life of his junior brother, William Armstrong, nicknamed Doodle.
When a scarlet ibis that had appeared in their garden dies, Doodle, pitying the bird, buries it, repeating his plea of “Don’t leave me”. This foreshadows the following: when an unexpected rainstorm arises, Brother gets angry and frustrated that Doodle could not complete his training, so he runs ahead, leaving the scared boy behind.
