Money And Money
A Man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 7 yers old son waiting for him at the door. Daddy....may I ask you a question....? Yeah...sure, what is it......? replied the man. Daddy.......how much do you make an hour.......? That’s none of your bussines. Why do you ask such a thing.......? the man said angrily. I just want to know, please tell me, how much do you make an hour........? Pleaded the little boy.
If you must know , I make $50 an hour. Oh.......the little bor replied, with his head down. Lokking up, he said, Daddy, may I please borrow $25........? The father was farious, 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 and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such childish behavior.
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money.......? After about an hour or so, the man caimed down, and started to think : Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25 and he really didn’t ask for money very aften.
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. I’ts been a long day and I look out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $25 you asked for. The little boy sat straight up, smilling. Oh......thank you daddy.......! He yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up billis, The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. Why do want more money if you already have some..... ....? the father grumbled. Because I didn’t have enought, but now I do, the little boy replied. Daddy, I have $25 now. Can I buy an hour of your time..........? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.
Share this story with someone you care about..........But even better, share $25 worth of time with someone you love. It’s just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip throught our finger without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we leave behind will feel the loss the rest of their lives, You decide for youself.
