The Father and Son

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old
highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their upward window.

The Father asked his Son, “What is this?” The Son replied “It’s a crow”. After a few
minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, “What is this?” The Son said “Father, I

have just now told you; ‘It’s a crow’.” After a little while, the old Father again asked his
Son for a 3rd time, “What is this?”

his time, an expression of irritation was felt in the Son’s tone when he said to his Father,
“It’s a crow, a crow!”. A little more time went by, and the Father again asked his Son
the 4th time, “What is this?”

This time the Son shouted at his Father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question
again and again, although I have told you so many times, ‘IT IS A CROW!’. Are you not
able to understand this?”

A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary,
which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son
to read that page. “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when
a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied
to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the
same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt
affection for my innocent child”.

while the little child asked him 23 times “What is this”, the Father had felt no irritation in
replying to the same question all 23 times, yet when today the Father asked his Son
the same question only 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.
