48. Family
A cute son was
desperately waiting for his dad, who got late from office and was exasperated
due to some problem. No sooner had he opened the door for his dad than he
started showering questions about his income. It infuriated father much more
and he replied it was none of his business but again, the child asked how much
money he made in an hour. Father angrily replied ₹20. The son now demanded for
his one hour earning, ₹20. Father said, “You are brought every toy and
chocolate you need. How dare you ask me for money?" He rebuked him. He
soon realized his mistake of being harsh to his delicate child. So he gave him ₹10,
but the child had already ₹10. Again, that agitated father, but the son
soothingly pacified him by saying, “Here is ₹20; now can I buy an hour of your
time? Please come home early tomorrow so that we may have dinner with
you."
Moral: Spending time with
family enhances love.
