     The man's son said nothing. He had already heard this from his father many times. uAnd when your mother was at your age ,” the young man's father 4,‘‘she had a good job and she 5 lots of  money. You don't even have a part-time job. You earn nothing. ” The man's son still said nothing. He had heard this before,too.

    “And when your 6 brother was at your age”’ the young man's father said ,“he studied hard. But you just waste your time. ”
