My Story about Sir John Soane

by Farhana

In the beginning a man called Sir John Soane was the rudest man around London. He also cared for London. He was an architect. He tried to go around the world in his mind. He was mostly interested in buildings which he brought back.

Sir John Soane had sons called John and George. He had a feud with the oldest son John because his father decided his son was to be an architect, but he wanted to be a writer.

One day John wrote a letter to his father. It said
"Dear Father, I would like an interview."

Sir John Soane wrote back and said
"Dear Sir, I would not like to have this interview." and sent it to John.

So it turned out that his worst enemy was his very own son, John.
