Reading Notes: The Two Brothers, Part 2

This is where the chunk of my story will take place. This part of the story leaves a lot for reinterpretation and for changing the theme behind it. One minor change I want to deal with is the brother did not get away and get split by a river, but the older brother caught the younger brother. Instead of the truth being presented there, he let his little brother flee and vow to never come back. The major change I want to add is that the older brother after a few years finds his wife with another man and all truth is then brought onto him about his brother. He leaves everything he has, sacrificing his wealth, his land, and his servants to go and find his brother. For months he searches for his brother and soon finds him. I want to show the forgiveness that the younger brother gives and the acceptance of him into his new home with great gifts.
