Peter's Poem

I'm from a country side
from a hot osuthern state
I'm from a small family
that started out small
but now had succeded

I'm from a family that had been educated fairly well
from a hard working family and well taught
I'm from a good tradtion that
came down from ages ago

I now feel that I am cut from that tradition
since I have been in forigen counrties
and have not practiced any of the former traditions
I whould got used to it

This article relates to 'The Pearl' in a very similar way that relates to greed and the theme. This person was to greedy that he lost money and his important people. The money he had blinded him from the more important things in life. For that moment he had wanted money rather that other things.
