The best parable about parents ․․․ try not to get emotional while reading ․․․
The 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa with his 45-year old sun, that received higher education. Suddenly a crow sat on the windowsill.
The father asked his son,
– What’s this?
– This is a crow,- answered the sun.
One minute later the father asked again,
– What’s this?
– Dad, I just told you. It’s a crow,- answered the son.
Some time passed and the father asked for the third time,
– What’s this?
This time the son answered in a slightly louder tone, already nervous.
This is a crow, just a crow.
And the father asked for the forth time.
What’s this?
This time the son yelled at his father.
– Why are you asking the same question all over again, i already told you that it’s a crow. Is it that hard for you to understand.
The father stood and left for his rom. Then he came back with an old diary, that kept from the day of his son’s birth. He opened the diary and asked his son to read what was inside.
When the son looked through the first page he saw this writing;
Today, my 3-year-old son was sitting on the sofa with me when suddenly a crow sat by the window. My son asked me what it was for 23 times, and I answered 23 times that it was a crow.
Each time he asked the same question, I hugged him tenderly. I was not nervous at all, I just felt tenderness towards my innocent child. ”
When the child asked the same question for 23 times the father answered with great patience and tenderness for all 23 times.
But when the father asked the same question for 4 times the son became angry and agitated.
So…
If your parents have reached old age, do not ignore them and do not treat them as a burden.Talk to them respectfully, keep calm, listen to them, be kind. Take good care of your parents.
From now one tell yourself more often, ” I want to see my parents happy.Thay cared from since I was born. They gave me their unconditional love.
They faced all the difficulties and ignored any hardship on their path to bring me where I am now, to make me a good member of society. ”
Pray for them. “I will care for my old parents with faith and love. I will only encourage and tell nice words to them, as they once did for me.”
