showroom. He knew that his father can afford it, thus he asked him to buy that car for him as a gift.
As the graduation day approached near and near, each day the young man was desiring signs that
his father has bought the car, finally the graduation day came, before the young man could go to the
set venue, his father called him in his study, and told him that he was very proud to have a fine son
like him and then he handed his song a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious but little disappointed,
he opened it, and found a Bible in it which is beautifully laced with leather and his name embossed
in it in gold, He got furious and shouted at his father and said, "This is all what you bought for me
from your money?" He put the Bible on the table and stormed out the house, then he got good job,
got a good wife and two children, and a beautiful house, after many years the young man thought
that he should go and meet his father as he was very old, he also didn't see him since the graduation
day. But as soon as he packed for going, he received a telegram which said that his father passed
away, he quickly went to his home and regretted for what he did, and he found that Bible which he
didn't receive as a gift, he opened the Bible and saw keys of car falling down, he grabbed them and
in the label attached to it was written the dealer's address and also it was written 'PAID IN FULL'.
