A man came home form work late, tired and found his 5 years old son waiting
for him at the door. "Daddy,may I ask you a questIon ?" "Yeah, sure, what
is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much do you make an hour? " " If you
must know, I make $20 an hour."" Oh,"the little boy replied, with his head
down, looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10" the father
was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some
money to buy a silly toy, then you go to bed." The little boy quietly went to
his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so,the man
had calmed down. And started to think. Maybe there was something he
really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money
very often. The man went to the door of the iIttle boy's room and opened
the door."Are you asleep, son?" he asked. "no daddy," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier." said the man,
"Here's the $10 you asked for." the little boy sat straight up, smiling.
"Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he
pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already
had money, started to get angry agaIn. The little boy slowly counted out
his money, then looked up at his father. "Why do you want more money?
Is you already have some ?" the father asked. "Because I didn't have
enough, but now I do. "the little boy repiied, "Daddy , I have $20 now.
Can I buy an hour of your time ?Please come home early tomorrow.
I would like to have dinner with you."
