"Can I borrow $25?"
Wednesday, 16 September 2009

Assalamualaikum! Yo guys!

Right now, I'm currently chatting with the Evols Hanani, Bdz, Jibh and a freind of mine from Philippine named Eve ( she's really nice ^^) with my heavy eyes that I am trying to keep them open.Hehe! Liy was there but unfortunately she was tired and needed to rest. So off she went! It's alright Liy, do rest well!
Alright! I really wanna post something but not really quite sure what to talk or share about a while ago. Well apparently I was in luck and I found this short story while browsing soompi forum. It is a bitter yet sweet story or I should preferably call it a "BitterSweet" story. Sorry, if you guys already heard/read about this. The story is so sweet that I just couldn't help myself to not share it!
So here it is:

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'

DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.

SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard every day for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions.

How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

'Are you asleep, son?' He asked.

'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man.

'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.' The little boy sat straight up, smiling.

'Oh, thank you daddy!' he yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

The End.

Sad but sweet at the same time right? I pity his son. Seriously, I do! I mean he tried his best collecting and finding money just so that he could have that short precious time to have dinner with his father. Even though I was sleepy and couldn't think well while reading this, I can still sense the determination of the little boy. Sigh.. so yeah, that's about it.

I'll be back for more! Wait for me.. LOL!
