Looking up, he said, <strong>\u201cDad, may I please borrow $5?\u201d. The father furiously said, <strong>\u201cif the only reason you asked about my pay is so that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or other nonsense, then march yourself to your room and go to bed. Think why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day and do not like this childish behavior.\u201d\n<h4><span style='\"color:' font-size:>The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. \n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy\u2019s 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, <strong>\u201cMaybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $5 and he really didn\u2019t ask for money very often!\u201d. The man went to the door of little boy\u2019s room and opened the door.<strong> &ldquo;Are you sleeping, son?\u201d He asked. <strong>\u201cNo daddy, I\u2019m awake,\u201d replied the boy. <strong>\u201cI\u2019ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier\u201d, said the man. <strong>\u201cIt\u2019s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you, Here\u2019s the $5 you asked for\u201d.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>The little boy sat straight up, smiling <strong>\u201cOh thank you, dad!\u201d. He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled some crippled up notes. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'><strong>\u201cWhy do you want money if you already had some?\u201d the father grumbled. <strong>\u201cBecause I didn\u2019t have enough, but now I do,\u201d the little boy replied. <strong>\u201cDaddy I have $10 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you\u201d. Father was dumbstruck.\n<blockquote><p><span style='\"font-size:'><strong>Moral: It\u2019s 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. If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family &amp; friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One day, the father was doing some work and his son came and asked, \u201cDaddy, may I ask you a question?\u201d.
