outlived his wife but still lived in their neat home with bookcases near

move for hours. His story of leaving home to explore the world and learn

a new trade was fascinating to my young mind. But it was after hearing

his tale that I realized what he was really saying to me - not as an

aspiring journalist but as a person. He told me he dreamed that he
