THE WOODEN BOWL 

A frail old man went to live with his son , daughter in law and four year old grandson . The old man's hands trembled , his eyesight was blurred , and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table . But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor when grasped the glass , milk spilled on the table-cloth . The son and daughter- in -law became irritated with the mess . "we must do something about Grandfather, " said the son.I've had enough of spilled milk, noisy eating , and food on floor .So the husband and wife set a small table in corner .There, Grandfather ate alone while rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two , his food was served in a wooden bowl . 

Whenever the family glanced in grandfather's direction, he would often have a tear in eye as he sat alone . Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when dropped the fork or spilled food . 

The four year old watched it all in silence .One evening before supper the father noticed son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly " What are you making ? " just as sweetly, the boy responded, " Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food when I grow up." The four year old smiled and went back to work . 

The words so struck the parents that they were speechless .The tears started to stream down their cheeks.Though no word was spoken , both knew what must be done . That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table . For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family . And for some reason neither husband now wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped,milk spilled, or the table cloth soiled .

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He is not of us who does not have mercy on young children, nor honor the elderly" (Al-Tirmidhi).

"If you are one of the people who are really lenient and kind towards their friends but yell, harsh with their mothers then trust me you should reconsider your conduct before your parents die and you have no chance to say sorry."

Be kind to your parents and never shout on them .

 you owe your parents  a lot.

Respect your parents and love your parents ...they have done so much for you what have you done for them ? 

Be good to parents so that when you grow up and you have childrens they will be too .

" Looking around at your friends having fancy gadgets and cars you might complain your parents for never providing you luxuries of life. Whenever you get to this point, don't ever forget that one man's trash is other man's heaven. Your parents might have torn them into pieces to give you the best they could. "
