A story of the father, the son
and the crow

A story of the father, the son
and the crow
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 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.
