It's wrong to be cold to people.
There is a family reunion coming up and Fred hates those things.
Fred wants to get through it as easily as possible.
Fred decided to go to the reunion and act nice to everyone even though he didn’t want to go.
At the reunion, a family member tried talking to Fred, but Fred just acted aloof and mumbled one word answers.
Fred ended up actually having a great time, and he even met a few family members he didn’t know he had.
The family member thought Fred was rude, so he took Fred out of his will.
