The crow

• The crow

There was a man with a small son of 3 years . Looking at a crow ,on the terrace the son would ask endlessly “dada what is this “ . His dada would reply patiently “that is a crow “. This would go on for hours repeatedly everyday , the son would ask and the old man would be patient/calm enough to reply .Everytime repeatedly everyday , everyweek .The father always had a smile , and an indulgent look feeling that his son was curious and was learning

As time flew by and life turned a circle the father was an old man with failing eyesight /hearing ; the son was a young man . On a terrace the father would sleep as the sun gave his tired bones energy . A crow would constantly come and caw , disturbing the old man’s much needed sleep . He asked his son “ beta , what is that which disturb me “ . The son replied “it is a crow “ . The father short of hearing and eyesight asked again , the son replied again , but with a lot of irritation . The father asked again the same question the next day and the son , was livid with anger at his father and he snubbed him “ why can you not understand once . I do not have the time to stand here and repeat it , constantly !” .The son felt his father was being silly and was doing it deliberately to irritate him
