Once upon a time, there was a man who was very old. His parents were still alive, and he treated them very well. However, his parents were extremely old. They were in bad health, and also had a very boring life, so they were unhappy. When the son realized his parents were not happy, he felt very upset.
One day, he came up with a great idea. He bought some very colorful, lively clothes, and dressed up, like a clown. He then went to his house to entertain his parents. He sang, danced, and told jokes. His parents were very happy.
Since he was very old, but acted like a child, everyone called him "Old Child."
