Just go down the story Daddy, May I Â borrow $25? A man Â came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find Â his 5-year old son waiting for him at the Â door.ï¿½ SON: Â 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'ï¿½ DAD: Â 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the Â man.ï¿½ SON: Â 'Daddy, how much do you make an Â hour?'ï¿½ DAD: Â 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a Â thing?' the man said angrily..ï¿½ SON: Â 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you Â make an hour?'ï¿½ DAD: Â 'If you must know, I make $50 an Â hour.'ï¿½ SON: Â 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head Â down.ï¿½ SON: Â 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'ï¿½ The Â father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that Â is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or Â some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to Â your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being Â so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish Â frivolities.'ï¿½ The Â little boy quietly went to his room and shut the Â door.ï¿½ The Â man sat down and started to get even angrier about the Â little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions Â only to get some money?ï¿½ After Â about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and Â started to think:ï¿½ Maybe Â there was something he really needed to buy with that Â $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often The Â man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened Â the door.ï¿½ 'Are Â you asleep, son?' He asked.ï¿½ 'No Â daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.ï¿½ 'I've Â been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said Â the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my Â aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked Â for.'ï¿½ The Â little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Â daddy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he Â pulled out some crumpled up bills.ï¿½ The Â man saw that the boy already had money, started to get Â angry again.ï¿½ The Â little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked Â up at his father.ï¿½ 'Why Â do you want more money if you already have some?' the Â father grumbled.ï¿½ 'Because Â I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy Â replied.ï¿½ 'Daddy, Â I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please Â come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner Â with you.'ï¿½ The father was Â crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he Â begged for his Â forgiveness.ï¿½ It's Â just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in Â life.. We should not let time slip through our fingers Â without having spent some time with those who really Â matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to Â share that $50 worth of your time with someone you Â love.ï¿½ If Â we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for Â could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the Â family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss Â for the rest of their lives.ï¿½ Please Â don't break this even if you only send it to one person. Â Thanksï¿½
