Draft

         In many years ago, there was an old man who lived in a small village named South Shore, Blackpool, England. He was seventy three years old. He was a farmer in his neighbor's farm. His age was not young anymore, but he still worked to fulfill his family's needs. He lived in his house with his son. His wife passed away because of cancer. However, he could still feel happy as long as the son was always with him. His son was thirty one years old but he was still single. He did not want to marry any women because he was still looking for a job. He had worked in a traditional market but he resigned because he wanted to look for his father.

          However, the old man and his son did not have victual anymore. Their money was gone due to the increase of food prices. Forcefully, the son borrowed his friend's money to buy some food. He gave it to his father, then he went to a farm to get a job. He told to the owner of the farm that he needed a job. Fortunately, the owner accepted him directly as a new worker. The son was very happy. Then, he came back to his house and told it to his father that he got a job and he would work tomorrow.

            In tomorrow morning, the son went to the farm and he worked there while his father was in house. However, one day, the son was sick. Therefore, the father went to the farm where the son worked. He worked at the farm to earn much money because his son was sick. He worked carefully. He went to the farm early in the morning and came back to home in sunset.

One day, the son had not been sick anymore. He went to the farm and worked again with his father. However, one day, the farm was burnt by several strange people. The father and his son could not work there anymore. Then, the son permitted to go to a big city for a while to get a job. The father actually did not permit him because he loved his son very much. On the other hand, they needed money to buy the food.

            Three months later after the son went out from the house, the father missed his son very much. He always pried to God every night. He wanted to meet his son. He also could not eat any food because the money from his son was gone. On the other hand, the son was being a successful person. He worked as a senior staff of a big company. He got it because he was very diligent to do all his works. He had a big house and money. However, he forgot his father.

            One day, the father had a will to meet his son. He decided to go to the city to where his son went. He looked for his son carefully. He tried to meet his son but he could not. Then, he decided to sit in the sidewalk. He put his old hat and started to fan himself. Suddenly, there was a young man who was walking in the road. Both of them was looking at each other. The young man was his son! The father was very happy to meet his son. He kissed and cuddled his son. However, the son denied his father kisses and hugs. He felt ashamed because the father's appearance was like a bum. He threw his father down. Then, he left his father alone there. His father was very sad and he got his disappointment from his beloved son.
