Black Sheep

This is a Cautionary Tale about a rich and privileged boy, who refuses to care. He is a Black Sheep. A fish out of water. He loafs at school. He shows no promise. At age twenty, he is disinherited by his father and made an outcast, so he gets a counterfeit passport, changes his name, forges a bogus degree and diploma, and letters of Introduction, and fakes his true age as twenty-five to make these seem more credible. All this means he can never return home. There can be no repentant return of the Prodigal Son. He refuses all money. He does not care. He goes to South America with the intention of teaching in an adult school. And how does he pull it off? To live his new life by stealth? All his life his three elder and very bright sisters teased, taunted and taught their kid brother with all that they knew. He quietly absorbed their humour and knowledge under their guidance, as he did the regimen of repeating the rote learning of his private school. Life became games of don't care.
