They have fared well in handling their poor son. He attends a school that befits the status of his family. His rations were never reduced. Tom and his parents live in the middle estate of life where people are neither rich nor poor. He had no reason to be gloomy and exist like a terrible creature. He was scrawny, as dark as midnight and his head was like an egg. Tom was a miniature version of his father who walks as if he is unable to hurt a fly! As the birds were singing aloud, he drew the curtain and looked out of the window. His large innocent eyes traveled round the countryside.

Reaching the threshold, he inserted the key into the lock and embraced his house. He hissed and slammed the door behind him, for the evening was the worst day of his life. He had to work late again even though it was Christmas Eve. But now, at last, the hammer had fallen on him! As soon as he was indoors, Tom sank into his favorite chair.
