In 'Zlateh the goat' Aaron starts to talk to the goat out of boredom during the time he was stuck in the blizzard. He interprets one of Zlateh's beats as meaning "We must accept all that God gives us—heat, cold, hunger, satisfaction, light, and darkness." This is the biggest moral from this story by Isaac Bashevis Singer. The trauma of the storm is given more religious suggestion when Aaron views himself and Zlateh as being born of snow. This symbolises the themes of purification and rebirth which are found in religious experiences.
