The Journey of Jack Manifold
| Written by : Zeera (8L-Madania School) |
Once in a small village, there lived a little boy named Jack Manifold. Jack lived with his grandparents. Jack’s parents went to the city when he was a baby in search of more money. Sadly, Jack never knows where his parents are. He always helps his grandparents by selling fruits every day and he also helps his grandparents growing trees or growing plants to sell them to get more money.
Day by day passes, Jack grows up to be a helpful, diligent and obedient teenager. Jack just started his day with picking up the fruit as usual but then, Jack saw his grandparents talking about his parents and he heard that his parents are still alive and they’re in a city working to make more money. Jack made a plan to escape the small village to the city to find his long lost parents. After Jack made the plan, he gathered all his belongings and left at 11pm at night.
He escaped successfully, but found himself confused and lost in the city. So he took a bus for hope that he would find his parents with only having one photo and address of his parents. So then he asked many people for the address and then boom he went home only to find his parents having a wonderful big house. Apparently, his parents don't want him and resent him coming home. After that frustration and confusion, Jack cannot focus on what he’s doing. And he decides to cross the road and finds himself getting crashed by a truck. One week after Jack’s death, his grandparents just knew that Jack was dead, trying to find his parents in a sorrow they tried to accept his death but couldn’t find happiness after that
