Conversation between mother and father about the boy who drew cats
Answers
Mother: I am quite worried about our younger son.
Father: I understand your concern. The same thing was bothering me too.
Mother: How is it possible that out of four children, three are perfectly healthy, but the younger one turned out so weak and frail?
Father: Strange indeed. We feed him the same food as the others, love him the same as the others.
Mother: No, in fact we take greater care of him. And yet... He simply could not handle the small pieces of wood this morning.
Father: Yesterday he wanted to help me in the fields, but could not carry even a bucketful of water. He felt miserable when I asked him to sit in the shade.
Mother: I can understand his pain and your disappointment. It's not that he shirks from work. It is just that he cannot handle physical labour. But mentally, he is far ahead of his brother and sisters.
Father: Yes, he is quite witty. May be he is meant to be a great thinker or a wise man.
Mother: Quite possible. We could send him to the priest for guidance.
Father: That is a good idea.
Mother: If the priest takes him under his wings, our son will definitely come back full of wisdom.
Father: Yes. The priest is a good man and our son will also be thrilled, I think.
