得父產業去遠方，不久資財浪蕩光。

無奈田裡去放豬，飢餓，欲得豆莢卻無望。

父有僱工多口糧，起來，回家勝過死異鄉。

衣袍鞋戒村口望，父迎，盛筵慶歸宰牛羊。

Ding Feng Bo · The Prodigal Son Returns

He claimed his father's inheritance and journeyed far away,

Before long, his wealth and riches were squandered and swept away.

Left with no choice, he went to herd pigs in the fields,

Hungering for carob pods, yet none would come his way.

His father had hired hands with food enough to spare,

He rose up: "Returning home is better than dying away from there."

Robes, shoes, and a ring awaited at the village gate,

His father welcomed him; a grand feast celebrated his return, and calves and sheep were slain.
