[short story]
something money can't buy
A father came back late from work, exhausted and irritated and, he found his son sleepily waiting for him, on the cold hard floor
when his son open he's eyes and se he's father was back he run to him and say
- daddy! and then he ask he's father a question
- daddy, daddy, can i ask you a question?
dad answer
- sure, what is it son?
- how much money do you make in an hour?
and then dad answer...
- you don't need to know anything about that, it's none of your business. dad siad angrily
- why do you ask such a thing?
- oh..I just wanted to know.. but please, please just tell me..how much do you make an hour?
- if you must know, I make $20 an hour
- oh..then daddy, may I please borrow $10?
- if the only reason you asked that silly question is because you want to borrow some money, for some stupid silly toy, then you march right to your room on the floor! and go straight to bed!
[the father was furious]
- have a think about your selfish and childish behaviour, i work night and day and all I get is this!
the child quietly crawled back onto the floor...
- how dare he ask me such a thing...but maybe I was a bit too harsh on him..
[after an hour the father calmed down]
- maybe i should go apologise to him..
then dad ask he's son
- are you asleep son?
- no..daddy, i'm awake..
- i've been thinking for the past hour. maybe I was a bit too harsh on you.. it's been quite a long day and..i took my agrivation on you..here's the $10 you asked for
[thankful and happy, the boy reached under his pillow]
[the father saw some coins and instantly started to get angry agian. he said in an angry vioce]
- why do you want some more money when you already have some?
- because, daddy, i didn't have enough but now i do.. daddy, now i have $20 may I please buy 1 hour of your time?
i want to have dinner with you please come home early tomorrow..
[the father was crushed]
[he wrapped his arms around his son and begged for forgiveness]
THE END...~
