    Alfred Hitchcock often made me say "wow, what a surprise ending" This is the only time he made me cry.

    In Aaron's eyes, his father is a dragon slayer. Beautiful.

    I remember this story. It touched me back then in so many ways. Biggest lesson was to never assume you know what's going on in someone else's head.

      I totally agree! The poster, unreasonably, gives EVERYTHING away in the description, where a general incomplete synopsis is usually given, if anything, not the entire story in a nutshell. Not good, or typical, and I won't be reading anymore descriptions on this channel, lol.

    My favorite of the whole TV series. Hitchcock used a lot of short stories for his episodes. The short story, here, was written by Philip Roth.

      Alfred Hitchcock made short stories on his tv show "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" which featured 20 min segments including commercials. So altogether, some w/o commercials would be 15 min long lol

    That's the way people are they have their own views and opinions about what's right or appealing or what makes sense to them only giving no thought to others or their feelings or views and if it doesn't seem right or appropriate to them and the other person doesn't agree or have the same view Oh there's something wrong with him or her or them, that child knew exactly what he wanted and what he was doing when he made that sculpture but the supervisor applied his understanding to it therefore labeling it inferior when in all actuality it wasn't but rather a beautiful touching tribute to his dad, good lesson of how people should stop imposing and forcing their thoughts and views on others and try to talk understand and respect the opinion views and feelings of others, understanding is the best thing in the world next to love of course.

    I so expected that ending!!! Especially when he said, "I wrote my father and told him to meet me at ceramics". I knew instantly Father was his hero and his artwork was a depiction (due to the deliberate '1 arm'). Gosh golly... That was easy peazy
