This story is a good example of the responsibility parents take for the mental development of their children. In such a cliff-hanging environment like South-Africa in the year 1948, it's an important task to care about their political education. The main problem is that the adult white people are a role model with their behavior towards black people and the white children adapt and/or copy the discriminating cruel treatment of the black Africans.

In this story, there is an open-minded girl that has got no experiences with racial prejudices. But during the events described in the story she learns the benefits of being white in a land controlled by white people. She starts to take advantage of her white skin, even if black people have to suffer for her pleasure.
