Kevin’s Lazy Son

As the only trader in the village, everyone knows Kevin. He trades in pigs, hens, ducks, bicycles and umbrellas. He lives in a building on the top of the hill. Kevin is never bored with life and he keeps a diary. When he is free, he will talk to someone about something, and he finds it enjoyable to join in social activities.

Kevin has a son called Tony. Anyone will wonder why there is such a big difference between them. Most of the time Tony plays with the few birds in his home and doesn’t go anywhere. He seems to dislike this wonderful world.  

       On a wet day Kevin decided to have a talk with Tony in the room below. He waited for Tony to come in and then said, “Tony, you know yourself as much as I know myself. I’m kind enough to you, and I always try to make you happy, but you do nothing all day. If you go on like that, you will go hungry in the future.” （172字）
