Man and his son



Man to his son: Thee could be-ith a great man if ye should only persevere. Ye’s heart is strong…but why so easy to quit? Why Thee fall at thine sight of disinclination from thee militia?

Boy to his father: Ye father I be scared to fall! I want-ith more thine anything to join, but there are those that would want-ith me to quit. I would have-ith many enemies for thine only being…

Man, to his son looking to the distance, arm on son’s shoulder: What-ith be! Regret or thine enemies!? If thee should fall, then take pride in yourself for thee has learned, get up and keep-ith going! If thine has enemies then thee should tread carefully, but-ith thine should never quit because someone else doesn’t want thee!

Boy to his father: Thee be-ith right! Let thy fears be-ith gone! Let-ith thy fate decide what thine should or should not-ith do!
