Evening
Dinner with a Father
1 Aug 2016
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 things.
Love them, respect them, and care for them.
