How much do you earn ? – Meaningful
Story , Message…..
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.The little boy quietly went to
his room and shut the door.

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. 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.
A reminder to all of us 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……..
