short story

**#*بلسم جروح*#** · 29-07-2006, 09:21 AM

A young man was getting ready to graduate the college. For many

months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's

showroom, and knowing father could well afford it, he told him that

was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his

father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his

graduation his father called him into his private study and told him

how proud he was to have such a fine son and also told him how much

he loved him. He, then handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and

found a lovely, leather-bound Quran. Angrily, he raised his voice at

his father and said,"With all your money you give me a Quran?" and

stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book behind. Many years

passed and the young man was very successful in business. >He had a

beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very

old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. As he had not seen him

since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he

received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and

willed all of his possessions for

his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of

inheritance. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness

and regret filled his heart.He began to search his father's belongings

and saw the same Quran, just as he had left it years ago. With tears

in his eyes, he opened the Quran and wanted to read it, as he turned

the pages, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Quran.

It had a tag with the same dealer's name, who had the sports car he

had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words

PAID IN FULL.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
.........How sad !!!!l
Do you want my point of view???????????l
It's true . The son was mistaken , but the father was mistaken too.l
Why didn't he explane the misunderstanding that happened and blamed the young man a bit ????????l
I'm not saying the son was right , but there is something that is called forgiveness .l
Allah Hemself forgives .......This man didin't want to forgive his own son?????l
The same thing about the son himself
I just feel sad.l

Thanks Balsam for the sad story
