A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner.
Father being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on his shirt
and trousers. Other diners watched him in disgust while his son was calm.
After he finished
eating, his son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took him to the wash
room, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed his hair and fitted
his spectacles firmly. When they came out, the entire restaurant was
watching them in dead silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass
themselves publicly like that. The son settled the bill and started
walking out with his father.
At that time, an
old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him, “Don’t you
think you have left something behind?”
The son replied,
“No sir, I haven’t.”
The old man
retorted, “Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every son and hope for
every father”.
The restaurant went
silent.
Moral: To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest
honors. We all know, how our parents cared for us for every little
thing. Love them, respect them, and care for them.
