Based on a TRUE STORY

This is about an old couple.

They were very gentle in nature.

They had a son who was married and have two children. All of them were living quite happily.

But suddenly the wife of the old man passed away.

After a few days the son came to his father and said,

“Dad, you shift yourself to the small room near the garage. Your daughter in law is having a lot of problems for you. After mom’s demise she has to do the chores of the house and in your presence she is facing a lot of difficulty to work in a saree.”

The father said, “I don’t have any objection in whatever daughter in law wears. Let her wear clothes in which she is comfortable.”

The son said, “Still, she has problem in this. You better shift to that room.”

Without uttering a word the father shifted to the small room adjacent to the garage.

About one month after the incident the old man called his son and handed tickets of a foreign trip for his family and said, “Take everyone for a vacation. Go, enjoy and refresh yourselves.”

The son’s family happily went for the trip.

In the meantime, the old man sold his house which was 4 crores worth, in just 2 crores.

He then bought a nice flat for himself in an apartment and transferred his son’s belongings into a rented flat in another apartment.

When the son returned from the trip, he found a watchman at the gate of their house. The watchman told him that the house has been sold.

Astonished, the son called his father but he couldn’t connect.

Sensing the situation the watchman asked him if he is trying to call the previous owner of the house. The son nodded.

The watchman said that the previous owner has changed his phone number and has told to inform him when his son is back.

Saying this watchman handed the phone to the son to talk with his father. Over the phone the father told him to wait there.

After sometime a car stopped and the old man got down from it. He handed a bunch of keys to his son and said, “These are the keys of your new flat. I have paid the rent for a year. The rest is your choice. Keep your wife the way you want to and live happily the way you feel happy.”

Saying this old man went back.

Conclusion:

Parents don’t realise that they always have a tendency do more than needed for their children.

Parents spend the active phase of their lives bringing up their children in the best possible way. But when the same children become successful in their lives, they not only refuse to be with them but also don’t hesitate to snatch their possessions.

But, without letting their children to torture them, I feel parents should be able to make up their minds to teach such children a lesson like the story above.
