Hello! It's been a long time since I last updated this book. Again, I did not write these stories, except the first one. I give credits to the rightful authors, and I apologize if I offended anyone. But I hope that you'll find inspiration by reading these great stories. Have a blessed day, everyone!

A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner. The father, being very old and weak, dropped food on his shirt and trousers while eating. The other diners watched him in disgust, but his son was watching him with a gentle expression, without showing any embarrassment at all.
After he finished eating, his son quietly took him to the washroom, wiped and removed the stains on his clothes, combed his hair, and fitted his spectacles firmly in place. When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves like that by letting a clumsy old man eat with them in a public place. The son never paid them any heed. He just settled the bill and started walking out with his father.
But before they crossed the threshold, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him, “Don’t you think you have left something behind?”
The son replied, “No, sir. I haven’t.”
The old man retorted, “Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every son and a hope for every father.”
The restaurant went dead silent.
Moral Lesson: To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors. We know how our parents cared for us since the day we were born. As we struggle to walk, to speak, and to do things on our own, they guide us with affection and patience. We should love them, respect them, and care for them when the day comes when they are the ones who need us to guide them just like they did when we were young.
