there are subtle clues that all is far from normal. In the second paragraph, we discover that one of the village boys, Bobby Martin, has filled his pockets full of stones and that the other boys have followed his example. At this stage of the story, we don't quite know what's going on, but whatever it is, we sense that it can't be good.
