In the new spelling of Portuguese language, the crasis is used to indicate that there is a union between a definite article and an equal preposition (a + a = à).
However, in the sentence “the good son makes the house”, the word “the” is a preposition, and it is reacting with the verb “to make”. In this way, the son is returning to a symbolic “home”, so there is no need for a definite article.
The meaning of “the good son returns home” can be found in Holy Bible, at Parable of the Prodigal Son.
According to biblical stories, a man had two sons and left his inheritance to the youngest, who spent all the money in the world, because he had no sense.
With that, came the meaning of prodigal son: wasteful, who spends all his money on trifles. After finishing all the inheritance, the prodigal son returns to his father, and he, very happy, decides to have a party, in celebration of his son's return.
The eldest son refuses to participate in the party, and the father tries to justify that the love for both of them children was always the same, saying that he was on his side, and everything that belonged to the father also belonged to he.
