Money can’t buy everything.

There is a kid, named Jack. He is the single son of a businessman. Jack loves his father very
much. Jack is 10-years-old now, and he misses the time when he and his father used to play
outdoors for hours. Jack’s father is a busy businessman, he generally comes home when Jack is
already asleep and is off for the office before Jack wakes up. Jack yearned for his father’s attention.
He becomes sad, every time he sees his friends playing with their father. However, one day, Jack’s
father surprises him, he is home early today. Jack runs to his father and hugged him tightly.

Love you, Dad, It’s a pleasant surprise, you are home.

His father looked at him and said:

Yes, my son. My meeting was cancelled but after a couple of hours, I have a flight.

The news upsets him.

Then, When will you be back? He asks his father in a low tone.

His father replied: Tomorrow evening.

Jack was very sad and he sat on the bed while his father was packing the suitcase with files.
Suddenly, he asks his father.

Dad, How much do you earn in a year?

His father, busy in shuffling his files, said, Why? that’s a big amount you won’t understand. Jack waits
for a minute and asks again:

How much do you earn in an hour?

Father confused by his son’s question looked at him and replied:

Maybe, RM 30 per hour, why are you asking this?

Jack ran to his room and comes back with some money and hands it over to his father.

I have RM60, Can you spare me 2 hours? I want to book an appointment to go to the beach and have
dinner with you tomorrow at evening. Can you please mark this on your schedule?

Tom’s Father was speechless and had tears in his eyes!

Moral of the Story:

The greatest gift a parent can give his child is time.
