THE HOUSE OF SIXTY FATHERS-PAGE 18-32

TIAN PAO WAITED FOR THE AMERICAN AS HE WANTED TO REPAY THE AMERICAN BY GIVING HIM A FREE TRIP BACK ACROSS THE RIVER. THE CURRENT WAS TOO STRONG, TIAN PAO CAME BACK VERY LATE. TIAN PAO'S PARENTS WERE VERY ANGRY WITH HIM FOR NOT LISTENING TO THEM BY TAKING THE BOAT OUT WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION.HIS FATHER AND MOTHER FORGAVE HIM FOR THE LAST TIME. THEY TOLD HIM NOT TO EVER TAKE THE BOAT OUT ALL BY HIMSELF. I FELT THAT TIEN PAO IS GOING TO BE VERY CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT TO DO, TO GIVE THE AMERICAN THE TRIP AGAIN FOR TWO HUNDRED YEN, OR NOT TO TAKE THE BOAT OUT AGAIN.
