A father came home from work, tired and irritated. He found his son sleeping on the floor, waiting for him
(The boy wakes up)

Daddy! Daddy! Can i ask you a question?

Sure, what is it son?

How much money do you make an hour?

It's none of your business

(The man said angrily)

Why do you ask such a thing?

I just wanted to know... But please, tell me how much you make an hour

If you must know, I make $20 an hour

Oh. Daddy, may I borrow $10 please?

If the only reason you ask that silly question was to borrow some money who is silly to come... Good morning so straight to your room and go to bed!

(The father was furious)

Think of how selfish you are! Stop your childish behavior! I work so hard and all I get is this! How dare you ask me such a thing.

(The little boy leaves)

But maybe I was a bit too harsh on him

(After an hour, the father clams down)

Maybe i should apologize.

(He goes upstairs)

Are yoy asleep son?

No daddy, I'm awake...

I've been thinking... Maybe, I was a bit harsh on you... It's been a long day, and I took my anger out on you. Here's the $10 you asked for

(Thankful, the boy reached under his pillow. The father saw something green and said in a angry voice)

Why do you want money when you already have some?

Because, I didn't have enough but now I do.. Daddy, now I have $20. Can I please buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I want to have dinner with you.

(The father was crushed. He hugged his son and begged for forgiveness)
