Entry Ten: Siddhartha

Full of rage and misery, he found an outlet in a stream of wild and angry words at his father. Then the boy ran away and only returned late in the evening.
     The following morning he had disappeared. A small two-colored basker made of bast, in which the ferrymen kept the copper and silver coins which they received as their payment, had also disappeared. The boat, too, had gone. Siddhartha saw it on the other side of the bank.  The boy had run away...Vasudeva said "[Let] him go, my friend, he is not a child any more, he knows how to look after himself.  He is seeking the way to the town and he is right. Do not forget that."

I already knew my prediction was wrong when I posted that last entry but this is what ends up happening.  Siddhartha's son runs away and the father can not help but want to search for him.  Vasudeva urges Siddhartha not to follow the boy and after some time he complies.  Vasudeva tells him his son is right because he is following his own path in life.
