The+Prodigal+Son

Shaan D.
There once was a wealthy man with two young adult sons. The younger of the two brothers wanted to split his father's fortune with his older brother. When the younger brother received the money, he left and lived a happy, carefree life with no worries at all. But this did not last long. The younger brother became poor soon and had to find a job to pay his expenses. He worked for a farmer and noticed that the pigs he fed had more food than himself. The man finally decided to return home to his father. When he got there, his father was so happy to see him that he prepared a feast. The eldest brother, who had loyally stayed with his father and worked on the family farm, was frustrated with his father for throwing a celebration for his brother, the boy who ran with his money and wasted it and so much of his life. The father replied saying that he was celebrating the return of his disobedient son, as if he came back alive from the dead and that it didn't mean that he loved the older brother any less. At the end of the feast, when the two brothers and their father were nicely fed, the father announced something. He was going to give some more money to his younger son for a second chance. "You realized what you did wrong, my son. That is why I'm letting you try again to live a happy life. What your big brother has done is an example that there is much more opportunity for you."
