A True life story

Mr and Mrs Allen were both living together as one big family with there only son, Name "Johnson" if there's anything that could bring panic, fear or disturbance to people, such thing didn't exist in the lives of Mr and Mrs Allen because they could comfortably move as early as 4am to their different working place.

They both loved each other so dearly but their only son, Johnson lacked parental guidance, because both parents were always busy. They anchor their busy schedule on being bankers by profession.

It was a sad thing for Johnson that despite his good reading skills and vocational Interests, he was unlucky to be denied parents' good remarks and encouragement particularly on his performance in school.

The weather was calm on this particular Monday evening when Johnson came back from school looking happy, and as if in celebration. Do you know why? Johnson was so happy and fine because Johnson scored ten over ten in all his assignments and his teacher also gave him a gift for his effort".

Johnson was over excited by his performance in his assignment, and so, he would neither sleep not eat until his parents were back. At exactly 10pm, there was a big knock on the door. Johnson quickly rushed to the door and open it.

He shouted, "mummy, daddy you are welcome, I have missed you so much, see the gift my teacher gave me for doing well in my assignments". Guess what!

They both replied, "Johnson, we are tired, it is time for mummy and daddy to go to bed, relax and rest. Good night son".

Johnson felt so bad, and it was written all over his face. He went straight to his room and slept on empty stomach.

It was on a wonderful morning, Johnson was set to go to school but felt unhappy because of his parents' reaction to him the previous night, and he could not even concentrate on what the teacher was teaching him in the class.

Things appeared unencouraging and everything looked dull for Johnson, because at every moment of his life it was all about his care free parents. He looked so bored and appeared always lonely.

One faithful Saturday morning, Johnson was very happy when he noticed that his parents were at home sleeping. He started jumping up, smiling and waiting for his parents' attention. After one hour, Johnson's parents came downstairs dressed up for a friend's party.

The moment Johnson saw his parents, he was over excited and said, "Mummy and daddy where are you going?"

Mummy and daddy replied, We are going to a friend's party". Johnson now asked his parents, that can I go with you?, They both replied, "No, you need to relax and face your studies and do all your assignment".

Mr. and Mrs. Allen left their only son crying, and went out, in a dancing mood, to catch fun.

Johnson was not happy with his parents reaction towards him. He looked so sober and worried, sitting down outside, at the front of his parent's apartment.

Do you realize that Johnson later became a road digger, highway robbers just because of not giving him a proper attention by his parents, "Mr and Mrs Allen",Which they later regret at the end.

As a parent let us have time for our children, give them chance to express their feelings and encourage.

Don't be too far from them, Remember that they are our future", and Leaders of tomorrow.
