[00:13.62]A man came home from work late, tired and irritated,
[00:18.28]to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
[00:23.02]“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
[00:25.76]“Yeah sure, what is it?”replied the man.
[00:29.48]“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
[00:32.65]“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?”the man said angrily.
[00:38.78]“I just want to know. Please tell me,
[00:42.00]how much do you make an hour?”pleaded the little boy.
[00:45.34]“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”
[00:49.07]“Oh,”the little boy replied, with his head down.
[00:53.05]Looking up, he said,“Daddy, may I please borrow $10?”
[00:59.24]The father was furious,“If the only reason you asked that
[01:04.21]is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense,
[01:08.65]then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed.
[01:12.37]Think about why you are being so selfish.
[01:15.25]I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior.”
[01:19.59]The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
[01:23.75]The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions.
[01:29.54]How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
[01:33.48]After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
[01:38.96]Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10
[01:43.25]and he really didn’t ask for money very often.
[01:46.28]The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.
[01:51.10]“Are you asleep, son?”He asked.
[01:54.17]“No daddy, I’m awake,”replied the boy.
[01:57.77]“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,”said the man,
[02:02.37]“It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.
[02:06.74]Here’s the $10 you asked for.”
[02:09.80]The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you daddy!”He yelled.
[02:14.62]Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled bills.
[02:20.42]The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
[02:25.78]The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.
[02:30.81]“Why do you want more money if you already have some?”the father grumbled.
[02:36.28]“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,”the little boy replied.
[02:41.42]“Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow.
[02:49.19]I would like to have dinner with you.”
