CAN I BORROW $25?

CAN I BORROW $25.00?

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 everyday

for such childish frivolity's.'

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.

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.
