The man in rags

This is about a young man in his twenty's. His name is Cormac. He wants to go to the nearby city, Slenda but he needs to help his mother and father. He had a brother,but he died in war ,they don't talk about him much. A big war between the world happened in 2034 and ended in 2045.People lost every thing in that war, family, friends and loved ones. A virus came and killed many people. Country's say that we are not as cruel as the others, but I say they all are the same about this, they want power,glory and fame the one thing they are is greedy.One day Cormac was feeding there chickens and he saw a man in rags with a bag and he was steeling his apples from his apple tree. He spotted me. He started to run, I ran after him. I felt like I was chasing him forever. I was about to grab onto him but I fell. I got up and grabbed his leg and I asked "Why do you take what is not yours". The man answered "I have seven children and a wife, I used to have eight but she died. "Can you not give food to the hungry people" the man ask with a dash of anger. "Come with me" Cormac said quickly. They walked into Cormac's barn. "Take what ever you want from here" Cormac said. "Thank you, thank you,you are very,very generous" the man shouted. Cormac asked" what's your name". "My name is Alic" the man said. "Okay Alic, what's your children's names" Cormac wondered. "My oldest is John then Martha and Elizabeth, and Phillip, George, Malaci and Sean" Alic answered. "What about the one that died" Cormac wonder. "Maria, her name was Maria" Alic said slowly. Not a word was said for a moment or two. "I better be going now" Alic said. "If you ever need anything come to my house" Cormac said generously. "You saved my family you are apart of my family, if you ever need anything go down behind the river there is a house that's were I live" he said before turning away. Cormac watched as he waked home with his bag full to the top. "Tea time" Cormac's mother said out the window. Cormac ran to the door and went and sat down at the old table that is probably 10 years old or more." What are we having for tea?" Cormac asked his mother. "Cabage soup" she replied loudly. "Go get your father he's in the dairy making milk" Cormac's mother asked. He walked out loudly and went to the dairy and said to his father "Mother made some tea.Are you coming" Cormac asked. "I'll be in in a minute" Cormac's father answered. Cormac went back in and sat down on a stool. He dosn't really like cabage soup. But he drinks it anyway. Cormac's father came in and sat down.
