Taking Care

A 12 year old boy was enjoying his holidays. One day, his father, a farmer, asked the boy to clear the bushes in the backyard before he came in the evening. He thought it would be good for his son to be more active and at the same time he would learn how to keep the place clean.

When the father returned in the evening, he found the backyard clean except for a bush right in the middle. The father got wild.He looked for the boy, but he was not at home. So the father himself brought a spade to clear it. As soon as he struck it, two little frightened frogs hopped out of the bush and ran away. The father then realized why his son had left the bush untouched.

Caring is really a part of that profound thing called love. There was nobody to tell that little boy to do what he did, it was natural, spontaneous feeling.

Unfortunately this spontaneous feeling will probably be destroyed as he grows up.

The innocence is lost, ego takes over !
