It goes like this...
...Three men were wandering by the beach. They later chose a nice clean spot, settled there and started to have the dinner they bought from a nearby fast-food restaurant. They noticed an old lady wandering around... One of them couldn't help but go ask her what is she doing... As she, seemingly, was hungry therefore picking up leftovers thrown here and there to eat ... She seemed worried and anxious as well. So this guy approached her and asked what's wrong? She looked at him anxiously and told him that her son dropped her there and promised to pick her up at night and that she's been there since noon. The three guys asked her for her address. They decided to go drop her at her house, thinking perhaps her son couldn't make it. She took a piece of paper out of her pocket and gave it to the guys saying her son wrote down their address in case she was lost. The guys opened the paper and got SHOCKED!!
The sonwrote: Whoever finds this lady, should take her to the nearest Home!
Sad, shocked and annoyed the guys couldn't tell the lady what was actually written in there. She looked too old, too weak to take it. So, they tried hard to convince her to go with them... To help her look for her house or even her son... or maybe take her to their families who'd help. But she refused wholeheartedly saying her son is coming to take her and that she can't go and leave him. He'd get worried. (She didn't want to worry him....
Helplessly, the three guys left at their homes. One of them, couldn't sleep, so he decided to go back to that beach and check on the lady. As soon as he got dressed and left in there, he found an ambulance, a police car and a crowd of people. He made his way through them all... And when he got there... He saw the old lady...dead and pale... covered by some white cold sheet. He gave out a loud cry and started sobbing...
When he asked what happened... he was told that this lady was waiting for her son... worried and concerned that something wrong might have happened to that son who didn't show up to take her home... her blood pressure rose up real high causing her a stroke.... she died...
The End of the Story-
It is so true that our parents were so patient with us and merciful towards us, yet when they grow up and need the same for us, we're not willing to even give half of what they gave.
