My father was killed by mistake, because the one they meant to kill, the inspector, he got away and they went after my father instead because he had the same name. So my father died, and I was a little boy, and the rest of the family, the boys and girls were left alone. So for a while afterwards I worked with my mother, my brothers and my sisters, Once I started to like girls, I liked a girl, I asked for her hand, and I married her. I’m still with her today. By now I’ve seen a few years go by, but I was fatherless for most of my life.
