 The first time he saw him

When he found his seat on the plane, Sam recognized the person who was sitting in the seat next to him. He surprised himself when he saw that unforgettable face, he always wanted to see. The unexpected man was his father, wearing a colourful hat and a pair of glamorous shoes. Of course his father didn't recognize him, so sam said “Hello, do you remember me?” And so the man replied “Have we met before kid?”. Sam’s face completely changed, as a result he ignored him and sat down.

After three hours of the heavy journey he couldn't resist to talk to him so he asked his name, “George Smith” he said, “Besides, That's my surname too” Sam said. Therefore, they started talking about their wonderful lives and for that reason George started doubting.

Finally, before sam gave up, George had already realised who he was. That's why he started explaining him his awful decision to leave him. Although he wasn't pleased with the unbelievable story, he decided to move on with his life. Before George finished the story, Sam thought that there had been worst things in life.

Sam is the young boy and sitting next to him his dad.
