Be Patient

A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. His son shouted that he is the master of destruction. The kid played with the truck and accidentally nailed it. The man ran to his son. He shouted that his son was a useless and careless kid. He ran to his son, knocked him away, and hammered the little boy’s hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he screamed that he was sorry. He rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to cut the fingers from the boy both hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said that he is very sorry for what he did. Then he asked when will his finger grow. The father went home. He asked what have he done. Think first before you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones and hurt feelings often can’t.
