The Ring by Isak Dinesen

In Isak Dinesen?s story titled ?The Ring,? there are a lot of cause and effect details. There are many causes and effects that all tie together. The first cause I noticed was Sigismund and his wife Lovisa, called Lise by her husband, went for a walk on their land. The effect of this walk was they talked to Mathias. This conversation with Mathias was the cause of Lise and Sigismund hearing the story of the thief that killed sheep like a wolf. Then, Mathias and Sigismund began to examine some sick lambs.
