Hi fnds, this is a nice story abt human values with is related to time in every one's life
man came home from work late, tired and
irritated to find his
5-year-old son waiting for him at the door
Son: "Daddy, may I ask you a question"
Daddy: "Yeah sure, what it is?"
Son: "Dad, how much do you make an hour"
Daddy: "That's none of your business. Why
do you ask such a
thing?" that man said angrily.
Son: "I just want to know. Please tell me,
how much do you make
an hour?"
Daddy: "I make Rs. 500 an hour"
"Oh", the little boy replied, with his head
down. Looking up, he
said, "Dad, may I please borrow Rs. 300?"
The father was furious, "if the only reason
you asked that is so
you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or
other nonsense, then
march yourself to
your room and go to bed. Think why you are
being so selfish. I
work hard everyday for such this childish
behavior" The little boy
quietly went to his room and
shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even
angrier about the!
little boy's questions.
How dare he ask such questions only to get
some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had
calmed down, and started
to think:
"May be there was something he really
needed to buy with that
Rs.300 and he really didn't ask for money very
often!"
The man went to the door of little boy's
room and opened the
door.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, may be I was too hard
on you earlier", said
The man, "It's been a long day and I took
out my aggravation on
you. Here's the Rs. 300 you asked for"
The little boy sat straight up, smiling "oh
thank you dad!" He
yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled
some crippled up
notes.
The man, seeing that the boy already had
money, started to get
angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his
money, then looked up at
his father.
"Why do you want money if you already had !
some?" the father
grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I
do," the little boy
replied.
"Daddy I have Rs. 500 now. Can I buy an
hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to
have dinner with you"
MORAL:
It's just a short reminder to all of you
working so hard in life.
We should not let time slip through our fingers
without having spent
some time with those who really matter to us,
those close to our hearts.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those
who mind don't matter and those who matter don't
mind.
Thanks & Regards
