What is the rest of the story?

The farmer cares about the stranger and wants to help, so he invites the fellow up to the farmhouse where his wife is fixing lunch. They eat together and through conversation, they begin to get a picture of the man’s history. Some comments remind the farmer of where on the map this man may be from. So he brings out a map and they begin to discuss things that make sense to the man. Over dessert, he begins to see things more clearly and he sees where he is from. He remembers who he is and then where he needs to go. He is no longer lost.
