once my father told me this: an old man went to the park with his young son to take a walk, they sit on a bench. an old man saw a sparrow and asked his son what is that? he said what a fool question! that is a sparrow.... father sit somewhere else and again notice to a small bird and asked : what is that? son get angry and shout to his father: old man! that is a sparrow, how many times do you ask? his father smiled and said to his son, do you remember the time you were a kid and we used to come here, you sit here next to me and there and there and there, and asked me the same question many many times but i did not shout, it did not bored me at all, it did not make me angry at all... he sighs and shake his head, today you grow enough to know that is a sparrow but not to know how to make a value for this old man who taught you things when you were a kid, cause you are young and i am old enough now? your feeling changed as you became young, but for me, you are still the little boy that i always love him... I remember this much about what my father said to me but he explain so nice for me, today i remember this much about that and i really miss my father...

Hi good morning, All of a sudden, what made you to think in such a way? You lost your dad recently and you may be thinking much about him in his absence and your loliness. Good to have sweet thoughs about our dad and mom even if they are alive or not. You are absolutely true and this small story is so worth for those who think honestly. I always feel proud while thinking about my dad and he was priceless and now when I think about him, I really feel sad as I lost such a nice person and I feel energised if I think about him. Now, when I read about this small briefing, I really should thank you for a better discussion topic in this morning. Have a nice day! thank-s

Really a very nice story and you remember it till yet, really appreciated, It teaches us the moral values of our relationship and it is a learning for those who really do not respect their parents and they forgot the days of their childhood that how much their parents loved to them when they were young, How they fullfilled all the requirement of their children and always ready to give anything for their children....

Hi friend, it is a good story. How our father or mother love us when we still too young. Unfortunately, we cannot do the same thing for our father or mother when they are older. It shows us that parents love us so much, and we cannot revenge what they do to us. I hope, I can respect and honor my parents, although it does not enough to revenge their love to us.

This reminds me of the story where an old man keeps spilling food and hence his daughter and her husband make him sit in a corner and eat separately from the family, only to their own son mention that in future he also needs to have a corner table where they can eat in future. From then on the grandfather ate together with the family.

Yes, I think I did come across this nice conversations a few times in my email. Some one forwarded it to me before numerous time. I was wondering why this email keep coming in circle, it went round the world and came back to me again and still I love to read it . It reminds me to be patience with our parents just as they had been patience with us when we were small. Nice memories of your father !

Hi, It is very nice story teaching us moral values. Children learn all the things from their parents. parents have sacrificed many things to raise their children but when children grow up they feel boring with parents and they sometimes insult their parents. They should be grateful to their parents and respect them. Your father is so nice who explained the importance of respect to father with this story so effectively.

your father told you a very nice story. we should tell this to our children too. and maybe even to us adults so we will be reminded of the care and love that our parents showed them when we were young. this way we will realise how lucky we are that we have them and we will never forget to take care of them even if we don't need them to guide us anymore.
