Answer 2

The Journey is a tale that depicts the value of human relationships. It portrays the feelings that a father and his son have for each other.

The son is all set to rejoin work after a long break of six months that he took for his marriage. He finds his trunk very heavy to carry up the hilly road. Noticing this, the father takes up the task of doing this. While waiting at the bus stand, the father quietly asks the son if he has a pair of old shoes to spare. It is then that the son notices that the father has been walking barefoot all along. He gives his father money to buy a pair of new shoes, which the latter politely refuses and insists on having only old shoes. Finally, the son hands over his hunting shoes to his dad.

After this, both of them begin the journeys of their lives in opposite directions.
