The story takes place in Hawaii, and tells about young Stanley Sasaki impusively taking a walk on a little-used trail near the beach, and as he groped through brush and stepped into the clearing, he suddenly realized that he must be in a forbidden place. In the middle of the clearing he sees a boulder the size and shape of a shark and he wants to learn the tale that surrounds the shark stone, and of the other secret things that no one will speak about.).
