?How much do you earn
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 forgive
