Chapter 28: Day One!
Morning came in a blink of an eye.
The sun began to appear over the horizon, bringing welcoming warm rays to the land. The first rays of sun were not the beginning of the warmth.
It was already scorching hot before the sun had even peeked through the horizon. The stagnant heat was quite thrilling.
Oh my Buddha! Where did this trifling heat come from?
As the sunshine tickled their noses, they ate the hearty meals on their plates.
"Roy, don't forget who you are. You must work hard while there and make your father and I proud."
The young Roy nodded now absorbed in his parents' teachings.
Little Roy was 13 years old. He should be in school, but the few times they sent him to school, he couldn't understand anything at all.
He felt he was too stupid for school, resulting in him choosing to stay back and farm. He felt there was no need to waste the few savings his parents had.
Rather than going to school, he preferred learning a trade.
In the city, some could be Mechanics, carpenters, you name it. They went to strange schools that only taught trades.
