There is a Father who is very successful in his career but he also comes back home from work very late everyday.
One day, his only 5 years old son told him when he just back from work: “Dad, can you play with me now?”
Father: ”No, Son, I feel tried now and I got to work again tomorrow”
Next day morning, once the boy waked up and he said to his father “Dad, can you play with me today?”
The Father replied: “I told you I got to go to work”
Son: “Can you don’t go to work and play with me today?”
Father show bit of angry and said “Don’t you understand why I need to go to work? I need to earn the money for your food and education.”
Son: ”….”
Few days later, Son got up and requested his father to play with him again
The Father felt very upset and said: “I told you if I don’t go to work, I wouldn’t earn the money”
The son asked: “How much money do you make?”
The father replied proudly: “$50 per hour and I am getting late now, bye”
The son : “…..”
One week later, the son waked up in the morning and very excited to tell his father that: “Dad, Today don’t go to work, play with me”
Father felt very annoying and said “you really don’t understand? I told you many times already. Without my job, we won’t be living in this comfort life”
Son said “ Dad, Wait for a while”
Then he run up to the room to find his piggy bank and broke it on the floor. He counted all the money from his piggy bank to a total of $39 and run down to tell his father “Dad, can I borrow $11 from you?”
Father said “First, you asked me not to go to work and now still want to borrow money from me? I feel very disappointed to you.”
Father gave him $11 anyway.
Son very happy and said: “Dad, here is $50, can I borrow one hour of your time to play with me? for just one hour?”
Father :”….”
Guess what is the moral of this Story?
