    The son became irritated with his father for repeatedly asking what kind of bird they were seeing, answering "crow" each time. His father then showed him an entry from his diary, written when the son was three, recounting how the son had asked his father 31 times what a bird was, and his patient father had answered each time that it was a cuckoo. Realizing his past impatience, the son hung his head in shame. The story counsels children to always speak gently to their parents, be obedient and kind to them, as they will understand the role of parent someday.

    THE OTHER SIDE

    The son said, “Father, I just told you it’s a crow.” After a little
    while, the old father again asked his son, “What is that bird?” The
    son said with irritation,” it’s a crow, a crow. A little while after the
    father again asked his son, “What is it?” This time the son almost
    shouted at his Father,” why are you asking this silly question
    again and again? Although I have told you 3 times that, “It is a
    crow, Can’t you understand this?” His father smiled but didn’t tell
    him anything more and after a while he went inside his room. He
    came back with an old tattered diary. He used to write a diary
    since his son was born. He opened a page and his son to read
    that page. His son read in that diary, his father has written: Today
    my little son aged three was sitting with me in the garden.
    Suddenly he saw a cuckoo. It was sitting on a mango tree. My
    son asked me 31 times what was it. I replied and replied to him all
    the times that it was a cuckoo. I hugged him with great affection.
    His son hung his head in shame.
    If your parents are old, do not rebuff them. Don’t look upon them
    as a burden. Always speak to them gently, be obedient, humble
    and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents. Remember you
    are also going to be a parent some day in future.
