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?
DAD : Yeah sure, what it is? 'replied the man'
Son ; Daddy, how much do you make an hour?
DAD : Thatz 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 make an hour?
DAD ; If you must know, I make $50 an hour.\
SON : Ohh, the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON : Daddy, may I please borrow $25?
The father was furious , " If the only reason why you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other non sense, then you march your self straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I dont work everyday for such childish frivolities".
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door."
The man sat down and start to get even angrier about the little boy's question. How dare he asked such question only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something really he needed to buy with that $25 and he really did not ask for money very often. The man went to his son room.
" Are you asleep, son?"
"No Daddy, Im awake."
" I've been thinking , maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man. "Its been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. here's the $25 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. " Oh, thank you Daddy!" He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some crumpled bills.
The man saw the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money and then looked up his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the man grumbled.
" Because I did not have enough, but now I do"
" Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow . I would like to have dinner with you"
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and begged for his forgiveness.
