The story “A Worn Path” by American writer Eudora Welty tells about an old African American woman walking through the woods into town. She encounters many obstacles on her way - a ditch, barbed-wire fence, a thorny bush, etc.
Through many difficulties, she goes to get medicine for her grandson, who accidentally swallowed lye several years ago. Her love for him is so strong and deep that, despite her old age, she starts this difficult journey on the eve of each Christmas.
The concept of "path" is universal. The way people go - reflects their lives.
