A 70 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house adjacent to his 40-year old highly educated son.
The son was reading his e-mails on his Laptop.
The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"
The Son replied, "It's my email inbox".
After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "Can you teach me about email account?"
The Son said, "Dad, "I have no spare time to teach you all about email account, it is of no use for you".
After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time, "Son, teach me something about email".
At this time, with some expression of irritation in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff,
"No dad, don't disturb me, I can't teach you".
A little after, the Father again asked his Son 4th time, "You know, I know to work on computer but am not aware much about email".
This time the Son got irritated and shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, are you not able to understand this?"
A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since the time 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 sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window."
My Son asked me 14 times what it was and many more questions related to the crow, and I replied to him all 14 times that it was a Crow and all his innocent questions about the crow.
I hugged him lovingly, each time he asked me the apparantly same question again and again so as to satisfy his child like curiosity.
I did not at all feel a bit irritated. I felt great affection for my innocent child".
While today the Father asked his Son some question about 'email account', just 4 times, the son felt irritated and got annoyed.
Message: - So... gentlemen, If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them politely with grace, be cool, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to the age of your parents, they cared for you and now it's your turn to care for them in their old age.
