Value of Money and Value of Hard work
A successful Businessman was the father to a very lazy and fun-loving boy. He knew that he had to do something about it. His son would spend money carelessly and never help around the houses. So his father decided to teach him a lesson.
One day he told him that.
From today onward you will only be given meals at night. Only if you earn something through the day;
The son was confused for the first time in doubtful disbelief.
But looking at the seriousness of his father’s face. He knew he was not joking.
The son went to his mother for sympathy and help.
Feeling sorry for him, she gave him one gold coin.
That night at the dinner table.
The father knew that the boy hadn’t earned anything that day.
The son promptly showed him the gold coin into the well in the garden.
Without hesitation, the boy threw the coin into the well.
The next morning…..
The father sent his wife to her parent’s house. the boy woke up and realized that his mother was not around to give him any money.
So he went to his grandfather. His grandfather also felt sorry for him and gave him another gold coin.
That night when his father asked him about his earnings. He gave him the gold coin from his grandfather, his father was disappointed that still didn’t understand. told him to throw this coin into the well too.
Again without hesitation, the son did what his father asked
……and returned to the dinner table.
Later that night, the father went to visit the grandfather and told him about his plan. the grandfather understood and no longer gave the boy any money worried that he couldn’t get any money from his grandfather or mother.
The boy went to the market to search for the work.
He met a shopkeeper who he thought might be able to help him.
The shopkeeper looked at him and said. If you carry this heavy trunk to my home, I will pay you three silver coins.
The boy agreed and set to work.
By the time he had delivered the trunk he was exhausted and drenched in sweat. but felt very accomplished having earned three silver coins all by himself.
He raced home to show his father. He proudly presented the three silver coins to his father. But his father again asked him to throw the coins into the well. This time the boy refused almost in tears.
He felt crushed.
“Father My entire body is aching…and you are asking me to throw the money I made into the well”. He said defeated.
The father smiled and said, “It feels painful when the fruits of your hard work were wasted…those three silver coins are made out of your hard work, sweat, and tears”.
‘’When you didn’t work for the coins, you threw them into the well with no hesitation…
You now understand that the value of these coins is your hard work”.
The son realized the value of hard work and understood his mistakes.
Thank you, father
You never know how grateful I am right now, father;
MORAL: Sometimes life’s best lessons come from the hardest situations. The value of hard work is not only in the reward but also in our sense of achievement.
