The Inspiration of Character
is a short, simple story written from the gospel of Luke in the bible. This story is about a father and his two sons and the situations they face through a short period of their life.

As time elapses, the younger son loses all his inheritance, becomes a citizen of another country, and decides to go home because of starvation and realization of how fortunate he is at home.
