Dignity, Patience, and a Son’s Love”

A son took his father to a restaurant to enjoy a

delicious dinner. His father is quite old and therefore, a

little weak too. While eating, food occasionally fell on

his shirt and pants. The other guests watched the old

man with their faces contorted in disgust, but his son

remained calm. After they both finished eating, the son

quietly helped his father and took him to the toilet.

Cleaned food scraps from his crumpled face and

attempted to wash food stains on his clothes,

graciously combed his gray hair and finally put on his

glasses.

As they left the restroom, a deep silence reigned in the

restaurant. The son paid their bill but just before they

leave, a man, also old, got up and ask the old man’s

son, “Don’t you think you left something here?”

The young man replied “I did not

leave anything.”

Then the stranger said to him, “You left a lesson here

for every son and a hope for every father.”

The whole restaurant was so quiet, you could hear a

pin drop!

One of the greatest honours that exist, is being able to

take care of those who have taken care of us too. Our

parents and all those elders who sacrificed their lives

with all their time, money and effort for us, deserve

our utmost respect
