The Prodigal Son - (like you've never read it before!)

A faithful father’s forgiveness . . . (paraphrased)

Feeling footloose and frisky, a featherbrained fellow forced his fond father to fork over the farthings. He flew far to foreign fields and frittered his fortune feasting fabulously with faithless friends.
Finally, facing famine and fleecing by his fellows in folly, he found himself a feed flinger in a filthy farmyard. Fairly famishing, he fain would have filled his frame with foraged food from the fallen fodder fragments.
"Fooey! My father's flunkies fair far fancier," the frazzled fugitive fumed feverishly . . . frankly facing facts.
Falling at his father's feet, he floundered forlornly, "Father, I have flunked and fruitlessly forfeited family favor."
But the faithful father, forestalling further flenching, frantically flagged the flunkies to fetch forth the finest fatling and fix a feast.
The fugitive's fault finding fraternal foe frowned on the fickle forgiveness of former falderal. His fury flashed, but fussing was futile.
The farsighted father figured, "Such filial fidelity is fine, but what forbids fervent festivity? For the fugitive is found! Unfurl the flags! With fanfares flaring, let fun and frolic freely flow. Former failure is forgotten; folly forsaken. Forgiveness forms the foundation of future fortitude."
