How did you get "his parents" from "they"?

Thanks, Calif Jim.
The OP sentence is taken from the short story "Dreams Do Come True" by Jim Bishop. So I've used 'his parents' for 'they'.

Then I can only assume you've interpreted the text correctly, and context shows that 'they' are indeed his parents.

We don't know that from what you wrote originally.
