An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.

The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"
The Son replied "It is a crow".
After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?"
The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow".
After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time,
What is this?"
At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. "It's a crow, a crow, a crow".
A little after, the Father again asked his Son the 4th time, "What is this?"
This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"
A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary :-
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child".
While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.
So..
If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents. From today say this aloud, "I
want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me.
They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today".
Say a prayer to God, "I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave."

Gud one. I had ehard this story from my father long back in my childhood days. You remind me those sunny innocent days filled with all the god's blessings. Besides, this story provides a sensitive picture of current scenario where youth don't give the desired level of respect, care and love to his/her parents.

It is an excellent story to prove a point to our younger generation or to say to make them aware of the fact that they need to take care of their old parents.

I was however wondering the difference in the two situation could be the reason for son behaving differently. Imagine a child who probably may not know the meaning of a crow, asking the same question again and again, as against an old man who knows exactly what a crow means. May that was the reason, that father did not feel bad about a 3 year old asking the same question 23 times, while the son got irritated just on fourth occassion. Further, a 3 year old child is like a toy that all parents or adults who love children like to play. We even some time want them to repeat the 3 year old the same thing couple of times. The same is not ture in a 80 year old situation.

I know my observations may not be liking to many members, but let me assure I am more close to 80 rather than 3. I am just trying to analyse the situation in a fair and balanced manner.

There is no doubt that we can never pay for our parents love no matter what we do for them, and as such need to do our best to help them enjoy their old age. A good story to tell and good lesson to learn.

Agreed in toto.

Moreover, many might not agree, parents' love (for that matter the whole set of feelings and ways)for kids is lil' different from (grown up) kids' love for them in multiple ways. No direct comparison/correlation as such but as you said a good story with a message.

There can not be a substitute for the parents.Infact they must come before God.They sacrificed their every thing to bring us up and make us capable to sustain life.Only ungrateful people can neglect the parents in their old age and such people can never taste happiness in life.Debts of parents can never be repayed.Good story to tell YASH.

Bahut badhiya Yash ji

Hame aapne bujurgo ka maan samman karna hi chahiye.
jab ham aap ne bujurgo ka maan samman karenge unki aagya ka palan karenge , unki sachhe dil se seva karenge ...tabhi hamare bachhe bhi bade hoker hamara maan samman karenge........ishi ko sanskar kahte hai.

ek sachha kishha

1987 mein m ek din raat ko bangalore m mere office se ghar aa rha tha...to..rastte m..ek ghar se chillane ki aawaz aai.....malum pad raha tha ke maa bete ka jhagda chal raha hai...patta nahi kyu m ek mnt k liye khadda ho kar dekhne lag gya....es kaha suni m..bete ne apni maa ko ek thappad rashid kar diya....mujeh tabh jayada kannada nahi aati thi...mein josh m us ladke k sath bhid gya.............lekin us saari raat mujeh need nahi aayi...souchta raha jis maa ne us ko 9 mahine apne pait m rakha...usko palya poshya..badda kiya..aaj us bete ne ye sila diya maa ki mammta ka..

jabh bhi koe aap ne bujurgo se ladta hai ..aanayash hi mujeh ye wakya yaad aa jata hai...

aapne bhujurgo ki seva se bada koe dharam..koe tirth nahi hai.

I heartly appreciate that you raise a good cause question.
May God bless you.
