Thomas and Jerry

Once upon a time in a village, there was
an old man named Jerry. He hadn’t seen
his son who lived in the city for a few
years and wanted to meet him. He started
his journey and came to the city where his
son used to work and stay. He approached
the place where he used to get letters from
a long time ago. When he knocked on the
door he was excited and smiled with joy to meet his son. Unfortunately,
someone else opened the door. Jerry asked, “I suppose Thomas should
be staying in this place.” The person said, “No! He has left and moved to
a different location.” Jerry was disappointed and just pondered how he was
going to meet his son.
