"The Carpet" by Poul Watts.

"The Carpet" is an English short story written by Poul Watts and printed in 1969. This story is very much in chronological order. The story's amount of time is about the time you take to read it. So it's very simple and accessible for everybody to read. We are introduced to a little boy, who stays anonymous throughout the story. He is confused and insecure with his own life and how he should behave. He endures …

…in their life can be bad for them. For example in this story, if the boy is refused to see poor children, he will auto-matically form a prejudiced attitude against poor people when he gets older or as in this case defy-ing the parents and being more independent. Prejudices are in my opinion pretty much based on the upbringing by the parents. A child has a right to be independent and have its own meanings.
