A touching story.
A man came home late from work, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON:"Daddy, may I ask you a question? How much do you make an hour?"
DAD:"That's none of your business. Why do (would) you ask such a thing?"
SON:"I just want to know. Please, tell me"
DAD:"If you must know, I make 100$ an hour"
SON:"Oy! (with his head down) Daddy, may I borrow 50$?"
The father was furious.
DAD:"If the only reason you asked me that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish"
The little boy quietly went to his room.
After about an hour, the man had calmed down, and started to think:"Maybe there was something he really needed to buy and he doesn't ask for money very often"
The man went to his son.
DAD:"Are you asleep, son?"
SON:"No, daddy, I'm awake"
DAD:"Here's the 50$ you asked for"
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON:"Oh, thank you!"
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, stared to get angry again.
DAD:"Why do you want more money if you already have some?"
SON:"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. Daddy, I have 100$ now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please, come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you"
Thr father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged him for his forgiveness.
