What is This|| The Story of Father and Son

 WHAT IS THIS????

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their 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 2 time what is this?" the son said "father. I have just now told you it is a crow". After a little while, the old father again asked his son "what is this? At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father with a rebuff "it's a crow, a crow"

A little after the father again asked his son the fourth time, "what is this? This time the son

shouted at his father "why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although Ihave told you so many times "IT IS A CROW" Are you not able to understand this?

A little after the father went to his room and came hack with an old tattered diary which he maintained since his son was born, on opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it. The following words were written in the diary,

"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me in the sofa. When the crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times "What is this?" and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow, I hugged him lovingly cach time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I didn't at all feel irritated, I rather felt affection for my innocent child.

While the little child asked him 23 times "what is this?", the father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the father asked his son the same question just 4 times, the son felt irritated and annoyed so.......

If your parents attain old age do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them be considerate to your parents
