An 80 year old man was sitting on
the sofa in his house along with his
45
years old highly educated son.
Suddenly a crow perched on their
window.
The Father asked his Son,"What is
this?"
The Son replied"It is a crow".
After a few minutes, the Father
asked his Son the 2nd time,"What
is this?"
The Son said"Father, I have just
now told you"It's a crow".
After a little while, the old Father
again asked his Son the 3rd time,
What is this?"
At this time some ex-pression of
irritation was felt in the Son's tone
when
he said to his Father with a rebuff.
"It's a crow, a crow".
A little after, the Father again
asked his Son t he 4th time,"What
is
this?"
This time the Son shouted at his
Father,"Why do you keep asking
me the
same question again and again,
although I have told you so many
times'IT
IS A CROW'. Are you not able to
understand this?"
A little later the Father went to
his room and came back with an
old
tattered diary, which he had
maintained since his Son was born.
On opening
a page, he asked his Son to read
that page. When the son read it,
the
following words were written in the
diary :-
"Today my little son aged three
was sitting with me on the sofa,
when a
crow was sitting on the window. My
Son asked me 23 times what it was,
and I
replied to him all 23 times that it
was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly
each
time he asked me the same
question again and again for 23
times. I did not
at all feel irritated I rather felt
affection for my innocent child".
While the little child asked him 23
times"What is this", the Father
had
felt no irritation in replying to the
same question all 23 times and
when
today the Father asked his Son the
same question just 4 times, the Son
felt
irritated and annoyed.
So..
If your parents attain old age, do
not repulse them or look at them
as a
burden, but speak to them a
gracious word, be cool, obedient,
humble and
kind to them. Be considerate to
your parents.From today say this
aloud,"I
want to see my parents happy
forever. They have cared for me
ever since I
was a little child. They have always
showered their selfless love on me.
They crossed all mountains and
valleys without seeing the storm
and heat to
make me a person presentable in
the society today".
Say a prayer to God,"I will serve
my old parents in the BEST way. I
will
say all good and kind words to my
dear parents, no matter how they
behave.
