Father & Son

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along withhis 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched ontheir 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, "Whatis 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 3rdtime, What is this?"At this time some _expression of irritation was felt in the Son'stone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. "It's a crow, acrow".A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "Whatis this?"
This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking methe same question again and again, although I have told you so manytimes 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"
A little later the Father went to his room and came back with anold 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 sonread 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 timeswhat 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 questionagain and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated Irather felt affection for my innocent child".While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", theFather had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same questionjust 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.So..If your parents attain old age, do notrepulse them or look at themas a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient,humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents. From todaysay this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They havecared for me ever since I was a little child. They have alwaysshowered their selfless love on me.They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm andheat 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 matterhow they behave. Love them when they are with you for time isprecious and tomorrow is always uncertain

Ifhe above touch your heart.. I am happy because we know the realvalue of DAD n MUM. Enjoy with them!!!
Best Regards,Children... who is and will always respect & love theirparents.
