The Village Shepherd
Richard's Mum
Children's Story
The prodigal son's father could equally have been his mother, since mothers too are never quite what their offspring want!
This is a story about Richard, who resents his mother's discipline and breaks out against it, just as the prodigal son broke out against his father.
Richard was about seven or eight when he first realised his Mum wasn't perfect. It came as a great shock to Richard, for before that, he had assumed his Mum knew everything and was always right.
