Once day , the father was doing some work and his son came and asked , “ Daddy , may I ask you a question ?” Father said , “ Yeah sure , what it is ?” So his son asked , “ Dad , how much do you make an hour ?” Father got bit upset and said , “ That ’ s none of your business . Why do you ask such a thing ?” Son said , “ I just want to know . Please tell me , how much do you make an hour ?” So , the father told him that “ I make Rs . 500 per hour .”
“ Oh ”, the little boy replied , with his head down . Looking up , he said , “ Dad , may I please borrow Rs . 300 ?” The father furiously said , “ if the only reason you asked about my pay is so that 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 every day and do not like 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 . 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 sleeping , 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 . 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 ”. Father was dumbstruck .
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 .
