A Little Boy And His Father




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.”

SON: “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: “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: May be 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 saw 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”

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

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.

Do remember to share that Rs.100 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.

But the family friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family...

  14. I have learned some new things via your blog site. One other
    thing I'd prefer to say is that newer laptop or computer operating systems tend to allow more memory to use, but they in addition demand more ram simply to work. If your computer can not handle extra memory and the newest software requires that ram increase, it might be the time to shop for a new Personal computer. Thanks

  20. Thanks for your submission. I also think laptop computers have become more and more popular these days,
    and now in many cases are the only form of computer utilized
    in a household. This is because at the same time that they are becoming more and more affordable, their computing power keeps growing to the point where they may be as
    robust as personal computers coming from just a few in years
    past.

  24. I was just looking for this info for some time. After
    6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website.
    I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that don't rank
    this kind of informative sites in top of the list.
    Generally the top websites are full of garbage.

  25. I do not know whether it's just me or if everyone else experiencing problems with your website. It seems like some of the text in your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a issue with my browser because I've had this happen before.

    Thank you

  26. Not positive concerning the running on tired legs factor as
    a general principle. What is the point of a marathon, to become
    in a position to say you finished even if
    you damage yourself?
