Hello @pipokur67 I knew from the beginning of your story your character's countenance was such that he possessed an unspoken love for his country, his home no matter the condition, and his parents.

For any child growing to adulthood that has never left the bosom of comforting surroundings, the world no matter how near or far, can be a scary place. Even if that place offers new hopes and dreams. However, one may have read and been prepared for the next step and koww what to expect with more learning.

I liked your character's simple life and view of the immediate world around him. His yearnings from hearsay tempted him to the point of trying it at least once.

Thanks for sharing your story.
