Old man's lesson

An old man who had 5 sons divided all his wealth among his sons. He thought, "Now I need money. I will spend the rest of the day with my children." First, he went to his eldest son's house and began to live

In the early days, the eldest son served him very well and came and said, "I must of you, but after a few days he became disgusted with his father. Now he did not even do his literature, but sometimes He used to scold his father.

The old man did not get food or clothes on time.

Eventually, the old man also got fed up with his eldest son's behavior and went to the other son. The early days were good there too, then the middle son also got bored like the eldest. They were living with difficulty, now you have come and made me even more upset.

The poor old man soon got tired from there too. Then he went to his middle son but was also disturbed by his behavior. He went to the youngest and dearest son and got tired from there and left. The poor man could not find peace anywhere. All the sons wanted to avoid keeping their father with them, someone said I have so many children how can I keep you.

Some say my house is small and some say I am very poor.

The father complimented the fifth son, he cried and said I am your father, feel sorry for my old age and weakness but no one cared. Once the five sons came together and together they decided that the father should He should be sent to school every morning and in the evening he should be given some bread.

When the father heard this, he humbly said to his sons, "I don't know how to read. I am old. My eyes are weak. I can't see well. What will I do now after going to school? I have to stay somewhere for a while." Give me a place and a piece of bread, I will lie down.

But the unjust sons did not listen to their father and forcibly sent him to a school far from the village. The father was weeping when a poor rich man's horse passed by on the way. He got down from his horse and asked where he was going. Are you

"I am going to school," replied the frail and oppressed father. "I will go to school at this age. These are the days to sit comfortably in your house."

When the oppressed father told his whole story, the rich man said, "The idea of ​​going to school is useless, but don't worry, I will help you." He took a bag out of his pocket and filled it with something. Then put the bag in a wooden box and close the box tightly.

Giving the box to him, he said something in his ear. The frail father happily returned to the village with the box. When the sons saw that the father was pushing a box under his armpit, they understood that there must be some wealth in it. He did not ask his father why you did not go to school, but for the sake of humility.

Everyone asked him to go to his house and then he fed his father well. After eating and drinking, the old man said, “My children! In my youth I had amassed some wealth and buried it in the forest, I don't even think about it. I remember what happened today.

When I dug the earth, it was like a box of lice. Now it will remain closed like this for the rest of my life. Will get

Hearing this, the fifth son began to fight among himself, saying, "I will keep my father with me."

Now the old man would have had a good time with whatever son he went to. Everyone would take care of his food, clothes, and comfort. In the same way, the old man's life began to go on happily. After living comfortably for many days, the old man died. Together they buried him with great glory, made him a great conqueror.

He gave alms to the poor. Then, after finishing all the work, he started opening the box.

But before the box was opened, the five brothers started arguing. Each of them said, "I have attended to my father more, so I should give a bigger share."

When the box was lost, a beautiful silk bag with a closed mouth came out of it. There was a squeaking sound in it. He opened the bag with great impatience and emptied it on the floor. But what do you see? Fell and spread on the floor.

The five sons became very angry with him and they started fighting among themselves. The other people of the village laughed when they saw this and said to the disobedient children, “Look at the wisdom of your old father! Not all of you were sending him to school, but what a wonderful lesson he has taught without going to school. ”
