FAMILY ?
sure you will find this very touching...
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"
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.
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. An unwise investment indeed!
You know what's the full word of FAMILY?
