LOVE YOUR PARENTS

Once, an old man was sitting on a bench of a garden with his 25-years-old son. There was a tree beside the bench. The old man saw a bird sitting on the tree. He asked the son, “What’s this?” Son replied, “It’s a crow.”

The old man again asked what it was. Son said, “I already told you that it’s a crow.” The old man again asked what it was. Son angrily said, “Are you deaf Papa? How many times to tell you it’s a crow. Can’t you understand?”

Old man patiently replied, “My dear son, when you were 5 years old, you asked me 174 times the same question and I replied every time with a kiss that, it’s a crow! Now, I asked you three times and you were irritated.”

It’s the difference between the love of parents and love from the children. Love your parents. Don’t hurt them. Soon, you’ll be in their shoes.

 Spirit of Service A spindly little sparrow is lying on his back in the middle of the road. A horseman comes by, dismounts and asks the sparrow what he’s doing lying upside down like that.  “I heard the heavens are going to fall today,” said the sparrow. “Oh,” said the horseman, “and I suppose your spindly little legs can hold up the heavens.” “One does what one can,” said the sparrow, “One does what one can!”
