Little Pal
(Original Title: 小伙伴)
What I could be, Little Pal. I want you to be, Little Pal. I’m putting my faith and my hopes all in you, to do all the things that your dad couldn’t do. I’ll pray every night, Little Pal, that you turn out right, Little Pal. Someday you should be a man, your dad’s dreams will come true. Don’t forget about me, Little Pal. What a pal.
