An Old Man Is A Child An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45years 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 Its a crow. After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time,What is this? At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the Sons tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. Its a crow, a crow. A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 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 meon 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 questionagain and againfor 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.
