A FATHER.. HOW IS HE LIKE AT TIMES?


The 20 yr old son was angry with his father as the father continued saying to him..
  • “You have grown in age but not in capabilities..
  • If you remain like this, how do you survive tomorrow in this competitive world?
  • Get into all works around and learn quickly..
  • I am not rich and you don't have many resources at your disposal..
I don't know, when you will grow!"

The son was murmuring,

“He never says once at least that I did the right!”

As planned, the father and son went the next day evening to the shop 3 km away from their home. Soon, all bundles were moved into a small open van. The son was made to sit at the back holding a tin of oil and few packets of powders with the father in front..

On the way they had to cross a rivulet over a narrow bridge at a considerable height. As the vehicle maneuvered the steep up, at the top it suddenly swiveled and rested on the edge of the road tilting precariously towards the waters at depth..

The father instantly jumped out of the vehicle shouting,

"Dear! Leave everything and get down first from the vehicle!"

The son instantly let off the items go from his hands, caught hold of a handle and got down quickly. The father hugged him and held his hand tight saying,

"Don't worry.. You are safe.. That's enough for me!"

In no time, all the oil splashed on to road as the tins hit the road. A few powders were everywhere around on the ground. Some items straight away slipped down into the waters below. Confusion prevailed all around for a while. The driver quickly lifted the vehicle, set it right and soon they headed home..

That night passed off pretty cool and calm..

Next day morning, as the son was relaxing a little extra in his bed recollecting the previous day incident, suddenly he heard the loud voice in distance..

"Still sleeping?
  • “You have grown in age but not in capabilities..
  • If you remain thus, how do you survive tomorrow in this competitive and harsh world?
  • Get into all works around and learn quickly..
  • I am not rich and you don't have many resources at your disposal..
I don't know, when you will grow!"

  1. A father has many roles - task master and savior. The right balance is how he makes a boy a man.
