As You Sow, so Shall You Reap
Always Respect Your Parents
Barkat was a very old man. He
lived with his son who was great business man. He dined with the rest of his
family. He always spoiled the table-cloth by dropping one thing or the other
over it. His son and daughter-in-law did not like that.
Therefore, they decided to seat
him in a corner and to give him his meal in an earthen pot in future. The next
day, when the servant gave the old man his meal, tears welled up in his eyes.
He was very sad over his son's behaviour. His hands trembled and the earthen
dish fell down. His son said, “I cannot buy a pot for him everyday. Let him
have his meal in a wooden dish from tomorrow.” Barkat now used to take his meal
in a wooden dish.
One day, “he saw grandson fitting
together some pieces of wood”. The old man asked, “What are you making, my boy?”
The clever child replied, “I am making a wooden dish for father and mother, to
feed them, when I grow up.”
His parents over-heard it. They
learnt a lesson from their son. They began to treat the old man with great
respect and served him to the best of their ability.
Moral: i. Tit for Tat.
ii. As you sow,
so shall you reap.
