A teenage boy couldn'tstand his parents' family rules, so he left home. He wanted to be famous, buthe has a poor education. He couldn't find a job and had to beg for food on thestreet.
Years later, his motherdied. Though his father was old, he was still looking for his son. He looked inevery corner of the city. Whenever he went, he put up a big photo of himself onthe wall. On the lower part of the photo, he wrote, "I still love you, mydearest son. Please come back home!"
One day, the son saw one ofthe photos on the wall. The face on the photo was familiar to him. "Isthat my father?" He moved closer and read the words, "I still loveyou…" Tears ran down his face. He made up his mind to go back and see hisdad.
It was early morning whenhe got home. He knocked on the door. Nobody answered, although the door didopen. He rushed into his father's bedroom. His father was sleeping. The boywoke his father up. "It's me! Your son is back home!" The father andthe son held each other with tears in their eyes. The son asked, "Why isthe door unlocked? A thief could get in." The father answered in a softvoice, "The door has never been locked since you left."
