The next morning, the two men sit down to have breakfast. The young man tells the older man that he's going to take a month's leave of absence from his job to spend time with his younger sister. The older man says that's too much for him, but the young man says he'll take care of it. He tells the younger man that it's his birthday, and he asks if he can use the money to buy a present for her. The younger man says yes, and the two of them go to work.
