Another good story that I would like to share. ^^
A 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?"
DAD:
"Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an
hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man
said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy
replied, with his head down.
Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow
Rs.50?"
The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can
borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense,
then you march
yourself straight to your room and go to bed.
Think about 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:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that
Rs.50 and he really
didn't ask for money very often.
The man went to the door of the 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, maybe 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.50 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
"Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out
some crumpled up bills.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started
to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked
up at his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the
father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,"
the little boy
replied. "Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come
home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
