A Touching Story

Yesterday, i heard this touching story. So here it is just to share with all of you guys. It goes like this,

Once upon a time, there was this very wealthy man. He would always lend money to the poor or help the poor whenever they required it. One day, he was doing some thinking when he realised that he was getting old already and there were still a lot of people owing him money. So he decided to call upon all those who owe him money for a meeting.

At the meeting, he announced to everyone: 'As long as you tell me what you will do in your next life to repay me, all of you need not return me a single cent in your current life.'

A lot of people were delighted. All of them stepped up to him and said that they will be his maids, his cows, his horse, his slave and so on and so for except for this person. He went up to him and said: 'I would want to be your parents in our next life.'

The wealthy man was furious to hear that and burst into anger complaining about this person’s audacity to actually even think of being his parents. Then the person replied: 'Every one wants to be your slaves but can being a slave really repay your kindness that you have given me? Only through being your parents then I can repay your kindness because the love and contributions that parents give to their children is unconditional.'
