The father was furious “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? 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 little boy’s room and opened the door.
“I’ve been thinking maybe I was too hard on you earlier” said the man “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $10you 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 if you already have some?” the father grumbled.
“Because I didn’t have enough but now I do” the little boy replied. “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.” 我在想，可能刚才我对你太严厉了，”父亲说，“经过漫长的一天，我把怒气都发到你身上了。这是你要的10美元。”
