Answer 1

Once there was a village named Singapuram.
There lived a carpenter named Kasi. He had a
younger son who is five years old. His name
was Vasu. Kasi’s father Ramu was too old and
he also stayed with them in their house. Kasi
began to think that his father is of no use to
him since he became too old and unable to do
any work. Kasi always spoke angrily to his
father. Ramu was old man and he remained
silently whenever Kasi spoke in anger.
One day, Kasi gave food in a clay plate for his
father to eat. Being too old, Ramu was not able
to hold the clay plate properly. He dropped it
down and the clay plate broke off. Kasi became
so much angry and scolded his father. Vasu
observed this.
The next day , Kasi gave a new clay plate. He
went to work. When he came back, he was
angry to see the new clay plate also broken
into pieces. He scolded his father badly and
warned him, “Hey old man, if you break the next
clay plate also, there will be no food for you and
you have to leave the house”. Vasu was
listening to his father’s words silently.
Next day, in the evening, he came back to home
after his work. He saw his son Vasu doing some
work with his carpentry tools. He became
surprised to see this and happily he went near
him, Kasi asked Vasu “ What are you doing my
son?” Vasu replied “ Dad, I am making a wood
plate for you. When you become old, I will give
you this wood plate so that you will not break it
and I do not have to send you out of the house and love your younger ones "
Kasi realized his mistake on hearing his son’s
words. He felt sorry for hurting his old ageed
father. He apologised to his father for his
mistakes and his angry words. Kasi, Vasu and
his grandfather went into home to have a nice
dinner together.
Moral : “ Respect Your Elders”
