Toni is a ten yearold Austrian boy who’s afraid of thunderstorms. This is a big problem because Toni is a goat boy who tends his father’s prized herd every day alone, high up on the mountain side. One summer afternoon there’s a terrible storm and Toni, mad with fear, abandons his herd and flees the mountain pasture. Three of his beloved goats are lost and his father is very angry. Ashamed and fearful of losing his job, Toni is given one more chance to prove himself. But when the next thunderstorm hits, something miraculous happens.
