Once upon a time, a long time ago, these stories were told by my father to my brother and myself. His imagination seemed limitless, but as I grew older, I realized that he dipped into the deep well of his own life experiences when he was younger to develop his stories. Our father's stories never frightened us. They were adventures of two brothers in remote lands. We were always the heroes. I feel privileged to append my thoughts and few literary gifts to my father's stories. I pray that this story is the first of many. This is a story of adventure, compromise, and love. Love and respect between two brothers and parents who dearly loved and respected both of them. These new and fictional adventures will keep the readers and their children on pins and needles!
