Question

Write a story within 200 words ending with "...He gave up his dissolute life forever." Provide a suitable title to the story.

Answer 1

Hint: The word ‘dissolute’ used in the end of the story means, overindulging in immoral habits being recklessly careless. Therefore, the story should revolve around someone who already has such habits and they are changed by a driving force in their life such that they give up their dissolute life forever.

Complete step by step answer:
“The son of a billionaire”

Ian Bradshaw, was born with a silver spoon. His father was the richest man in the country. His lifestyle consisted of everything a king could ever have. From expensive uncountable cars to extravagant holiday homes, he possessed everything a common man could only dream of. The only thing he lacked was morals and values. He would get drunk during the day, and go for gambling in the night. His humble and disciplined father could not pass him the moral traits of his personality. One night, when Ian was returning after wasting thousands of dollars in a casino, he was arrested for over speeding and drunk driving. The police officer who arrested him, asked him his name and other details to formally lodge a complaint. He was awestruck to know the name of his father, not because he is a billionaire, but he was his old friend from the same school. The police officer told Ian about his father and his struggles back in his hometown. He told him, “your father was a son of an ordinary farmer. For them, a mere two time meal would also mean a luxury. After the demise of your grandfather, your father took charge of their farming business, he gave his blood, sweat, and tears. He would be unmoved by the rains, the chills of the winters, or the burning heat in the summers. He had only two pair of clothes, for the entire year, would walk barefoot for miles. He has worked very hard to reach where you are today. He had only one dream, that his son would value all his efforts and idolise him. It is very disheartening, to see a son like you who has shattered the dreams of that noble man.”
These words pierced into the ears of Ian, who had his moment of realisation. The immense struggle of his father made him introspect his life. And he realised the value of everything he had. From that day, there was no looking back for him. He was a changed man, and he gave up his dissolute life forever.
