Son asked his father for his inheritance, and went to 10
a foreign land to spend it in wild living. Soon 20
all the money was spent, and famine struck. The boy 30
sought employment on a piggery, where he longed to eat 40
the pigs’ scraps. He came to his senses and planned 50
to return, intending to offer his services as a farmhand. 60

father ran to him, welcomed him with kisses and various 80
meaningful presents, and threw a celebration.
‘My son was lost, 90
but now he’s found; he was dead, now he’s alive!’ 100
