A man came home from work late, tired and
irritated to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

Son: "Daddy, may I ask you a question"

Daddy: "Yeah sure, what is it?"

Son: "Dad, how much do you make an hour"

Daddy: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
the man said angrily

Son: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?">

Daddy: "I make Rs. 500 an hour"

"Oh", the little boy replied, with his head down.
Looking up, he said, "Dad, may I please borrow
Rs.300?" The father was furious, "if the only reason you asked that is
so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or other nonsense,
then march yourself to your room and go to bed. Think why you are
being so selfish.
I don't work hard everyday for such childish
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 had calmed down, and started to
think:
May be there was something he really needed to buy
with that Rs. 300 and he really didn't ask for money very often!
Besides, didn't he use the word "borrow"!

The man went to the door of 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, may be I was too hard on you
earlier", said The man, "It's been a long day and I took out my
aggravation on you.Here's the Rs. 300 you asked for"

The little boy sat straight up, smiling "oh thank
you dad!" He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some
crippled up notes.

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 you want money if you already had ! some?"
the father grumbled.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the
little boy replied."Daddy I have Rs. 500 now. Can I buy an hour of
your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have
dinner with you"


MORAL

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life.

We should not let time slip through our fingers
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 & friends we leave
behind
will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of
it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.
An unwise investment indeed!
