I don't know who the author of 'the wait short story' is. There are so many short stories out there and without more context, it's difficult to determine the author.
I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read this particular 'the wait short story'. It could be about waiting for a person, an event, or even a change in life. Maybe it's about the emotional journey during a period of waiting.
The main characters are the father and his son. The son is the one who is ill and going through the day's wait in fear, while the father is trying to take care of him and figure out what's wrong with his strange behavior.
The theme of 'A Day's Wait' is about the boy's psychological state during his 'day's wait'. He is isolated in his fear as he believes he is on the verge of death. It also touches on the idea of communication. If the boy had better understood the difference in temperature measurements or had better communication with his father, his agonizing wait could have been avoided. This shows how misinformation and lack of communication can lead to unnecessary suffering.
The main theme of 'A Day's Wait' could be seen as the power of empathy and the importance of clear communication to overcome fear and confusion. The story highlights how a lack of understanding can cause unnecessary anxiety.
Once there was a young man named Tom. He always procrastinated. He planned to start his own business but kept delaying. One day, he found that all his friends who started early had become successful. He realized that time and tide wait for none. He finally started to act immediately.
Well, 'time tide wait none' is a reminder of the unstoppable passage of time. In a short story, it might imply that opportunities are fleeting. Let's say there's a character who dreams of achieving something great. But if they keep hesitating, time will pass them by just like the tide goes in and out without pausing for anyone. So it's a call to action within the context of the story.
One way is to have a character who is always procrastinating. Then, suddenly, they realize that time tide wait none. For instance, a student who keeps putting off studying for an important exam. But when they finally understand that time is running out and won't wait for them, they start to study seriously.
The moral of such a short story is that procrastination is the enemy. Time and tide wait for no man implies that there is a natural order and flow to things, and we must align ourselves with it. If we don't, like in the case of a person who wants to travel the world but keeps postponing it for various reasons, they may one day find that they are too old or sick to do it. We need to make the most of the time we have and not let it slip away while we are indecisive.
