Once there lived happy couple with their two sons.The boys grews up and slowly their parents also became old. The boys went abroad as they got jobs in America. Soon after they left their mother passed away. Ten years passed since their mother died but none of them had even tried to contact their father once. It was their father's seventieth birthday. That morning some children were playing in his garden. He was the owner of a huge park in front of his house. He drove out the children from there as they would break his window glass. The children again came back and started playing with a ball and broke the old man's window glass. He again drove them away and cleaned the broken glass lying on the ground. A child then came to apologize for what they had done and left. After they left, the old man arranged all the birthday cards on his old table. Those birthday cards were gifted to him by his wife.Then he looked at his wife's photograph and started sobbing and said to himself "our children were also small like those playing outside. With so much of care we brought them up but none of them care about us". A child from that group was silently listening from outside the window.It made him feel sad. He quietly crept inside the house and took the ball. The spectacles of the old man was lying on the floor, its glasses were cracked; He even picked that up and hid it in his pocket. The old man noticed him and asked him what he wanted. He did not answer and went to the table where the birthday cards were kept and asked "So many birthday cards! Is it your birthday today?" The old man said yes, and that his wife had gifted him those cards. Then the old man asked they boy to leave and so he did. The old man his then searched for his spectacles but could not find it. He lay down on his easy chair and took a short nap While he slept, the children arranged a surprise birthday party for him in his garden. When the old man woke up, he went for a walk in his garden. The children cried out loud "Surprise". The old man asked whether the cake and candles lit up were all for him. They said that yes indeed it was all for him.As he blew the candles the children sang the birthday Song. He was really happy. The child who took his spectacles gifted him a new spectacles. It was the happiest day of his life. And he lived happily with the children for the rest of his life. So friends, from this we get to know when people grow old, how lonely and helpless they become. When you grow up please don't leave your old parents alone just like the two boys. Be helpful to the old people like those children and look after them well.
