To buy an hour from father-Samuel


A man came home from work late tired and irritated to find his5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.


Daddy, may I ask you a question?


Yes, sure, what is it? Replied the man.


Daddy, how much do you make an hour?


That’s none of you 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? Pleeaded The little boy.


If you must know, I make 20 dollars an hour.


“Oh”, the little boy replied with head down. Looking up he said: daddy, may I please borrow 10 dollars.


The father was furious. If you only reason you asked that 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 being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.


The little boy quitely went to his room and shut the door.


The man sat down and started to even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare you ask such a question only to get some money. After about an hour or so, the man has calmed down and started to think. Maybe there’s something he really needed to buy with that 10 dollars, and he really didn’t ask for money very often.


The man went to the door the little boy’s room and opened the door.


Are you sleep, son? He asked.


No, daddy, I’m awake. Replied the boy.


I have been thinking may be I was too hard on you earlier. Say the man. It’s been a long day, and I took out my aggravation 1 on you, here is the 10 dollars 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 crumble 2 up bills. The man seeing the boy already had money, started to get angry again.


The little boy slowly counts about his money then look up at his father.


Why do you want more money if you already had some. The father grumbled 3.


Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do. For little boy reply.


Daddy, I have 20 dollars now, can I borrow an hour your time, please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.
