The Black Sheep
Definition: A person who is considered bad because he/she is not the same as every body else.
Brian’s father was a banker, his sister was a banker, and his big brother was a banker too. When Brian was eighteen, he finished school and was sent to university to learn to be a banker. He enjoyed his new friends and he enjoyed the parties, but he didn’t enjoy the work. He wanted to do well at university, but every time he sat down to study, he wouldn’t write on the paper but begin to draw. He couldn’t concentrate on the numbers and banking theory but would think about color and what he wanted to draw. After his first term he changed his course to art and felt much happier.
In the summer holidays he went home to his family. He was excited to see them but also nervous. When he told his father about his change of course, his father’s face went bright red. He looked at Brian and said, “Brian, why would you want to be an artist? An artist is a poor man with no future. A banker has security. We are all bankers because it’s a good job. I’m angry with you. It’s quite clear to me that you’re the black ship of the family.”
Brian went back to university a sad man.
