Once upon a time, there was a man who had two sons.

I’m the young one!

3

The younger of the two sons asked his father for his inheritance money early. Reluctantly, the father agreed.

Dad, give me my

share of the family

property

4

• The young man traveled to a faraway land, and wasted all the money his father had given him.

5

• But his friends left him as soon as all his money was gone

No!

6

• Starving, he got a job feeding pigs. He was so hungry, he wanted to eat the pigs' food!

7

• He decided to go back to his father. He didn't feel worthy to be called his father's son anymore. He only hoped that he might be able to get a job as one of his father's servants.

I want to go back to see my father.

8

.

So he startedthe long journeyback home

Dad, sorry, I have sinned against heaven

and you.

9

• As he approached the house, his father saw him in the distance.

10

• His father was so happy to see him that he ran to meet his son.

Oh..my son.

11

• The young man told his father how sorry he was for everything he had done wrong. He asked if he could work as a servant at the house because he felt like he didn't deserve to be his son anymore.

Oh, my dear,

you are alive.Sorry!

12

• But his father still loved his son. He forgave him for his mistakes. He was just happy to have his son back.

I’m so happy to see you.I forgive

you.Dad, I love you!

13

• His father called for a big party to celebrate his son's safe return.

Let’s have a big party!

14

• Meanwhile, as the older son returned from working in the fields all day, he heard the music and noise from the party.

I heard the

music playing.

15

• He asked one of the servants what was going on. The servant explained that they were celebrating his younger brother's return home.

What’s happene

d?

16

• The older brother became angry. So his father came out to talk to him.

• "I've worked so hard for you all these years. And you never had a party for me!"

You never had a

party for me!

17

• His father told him: "Son, you will always be with me, and everything I have is yours. But it's important that we celebrate your brother's return, because he was lost, and now he is found."

My son, you are always with me.

Everything I have is yours.
