The Enemy

Question

What happened when Dr. Sadao and his wife Hana found the soldier of enemy forces outside their house?

Solution

Dr. Sadao and Hana were standing outside their house. They saw someone flung by the waves of the sea. They went closer and saw that he was an enemy soldier. They were in a dilemma. They first thought of throwing him back in the sea. But their compassionate nature could not allow them to throw the wounded person into the sea.

So they decided to take him in and treat his wounds first and then hand him over to the police when he recovered. Dr. Sadao operated upon the wound of the American and brought the bullet out from the wound. He gave him an injection to boost up the pulse rate. Hana administered anaesthesia to the American. They served the soldier even after their servants left the house in protest against sheltering an enemy in the house. When the soldier was fully recovered from his illness, Dr. Sadao sent him back to sea to an unguarded island, from where he could go away in a Korean fishing boat.
