Can I Borrow $25?
>
>
> A man came home from work late, tired and
> irritated, to find his 5-year old waiting for him at the door.
>
> : 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
>
> DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
>
> : '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.
>
> : '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.'
>
> : 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head
> down.
>
> : '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 everyday 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, ?' 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 , and he begged for his forgiveness.
>
> It's just a short reminder to all of you working
> so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having
> spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
> Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love.
>
> If we die tomorrow, the company that we are
> working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family &
> friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
