The young man answered it was OK and he was happy to answer their questions. He asked if the young man's parents had any illnesses. My mother was very unhealthy when she was a child, and she had problems with her health all her life." He answered that his mother had been very unhealthy when she was a child and she had had problems with her health all her life. The manager asked if his father had been healthy. The young man answered that his father had had heart problems. TI'm sorry to hear that," the manager said quietly that he was sorry to hear that. He also asked how old the young man's parents had been when they died. He answered that they had been still very young and his mother had been thirty-five and his father had been forty. The manager sighed that he was sorry and he couldn't give the young man any life insurance. When the man was leaving the office, another manager came up to him.
