A man bought a brand new car and was very proud of it. One morning, he was going to work and went into his garage to pick the car. He discovered that his little son had put some inscriptions on the new car.
The man was so enraged; he picked a small hammer that was on one corner in the garage, rushed back into the house and started battering his son's right hand which the boy used to make inscriptions on the car. The tears and pleadings of the boy couldn't stop him until the mother heard the cry and ran out from the kitchen to rescue the boy.
The boy's hand was bleeding profusely and he had to be rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, the hand was so badly battered that the five fingers had to be amputated; but the boy survived and was eventually discharged from the hospital.
The morning after the day they got back from the hospital, the man went to see what he could do about the inscription on the car. On a closer look, he read what his son had written on the car: 'Daddy, I love you more than the whole world, you are the best Dad ever! His eyes filled with tears of regret and he went back inside the house. On getting inside, the son asked – "Daddy, when are my fingers going to grow back?'
If only he had taken ONE MINUTE to read what was written on the car before destroying the little boy. Oh, powerful, powerful, ONE MINUTE!
But then, let me ask you: do you think the boy deserved this punishment for deciding to write his feelings on his father's treasured car? Or would you do this to your own son because of a car? What word do you have for the father; for the son or for the poor mother?
