鏡子裡的本我(孩子是自己的一面鏡子)

父親從兒子那裡學到的這則短篇小說對所有人來說都是很有趣的。 喜歡閱讀這個故事。

Velan是個木匠。住在一個村莊。 他母親去世很久了。 他年邁的父親庫潘（Kuppan）與Velan住在一起。 庫潘非常虛弱。 他甚至不能走路。 他太虛弱了。 這是因為Velan沒有給他足夠的食物。 他給了父親一個小陶土盤子。他把食物分散開， 盤子裡即使少量的米飯看起來也很多。維蘭是個壞人。 他也是個酒鬼。喝酒後，他嚴重虐待了父親。

Velan生了一個兒子。他的名字叫Muthu。 Muthu才十歲。他是一個非常好的男孩。他愛他的祖父。他非常尊重他的祖父。他不喜歡父親的態度和品格，因為父親殘酷地對待他的祖父。

有一天，庫潘用他兒子給他的陶盤吃著他的食物。陶盤掉下來了。盤子碎了。食物也掉在地上。Velan在房間的另一端工作。他看到了破盤子。他對他的父親很生氣，並用很苛刻的話虐待他的父親。老人對發生的事情感到難過。他為自己的錯誤感到抱歉。Velan的話深深地傷害了他。

Velan的兒子Muthu看到了這一點。他不喜歡他的父親虐待他的祖父。他害怕對父親說話。他為他的祖父感到難過。但是他沒有能力支持他的祖父。

第二天，Muthu拿走了父親的一些木工工具和一塊木頭。他使用工具製作木盤。父親看見他在工作。

“你在做什麼，Muthu？”他問。

“我正在做一個木製盤子！”Muthu回答。

“木製盤子！是為了什麼？”他父親問。

“父親，我為你做。當您像我的祖父一樣長大後，您將需要一盤食物。陶製盤子很容易破裂。那我可能會嚴厲責罵你。

 所以，我想給你一個木盤子。它不會輕易破裂。”

木匠聽到這個消息感到震驚。直到現在他才意識到自己的錯誤。他的父親對很友善。他很好地照顧了Velan。現在，他老了。Velan卻嚴厲對待他的父親。 Velan現在對自己的行為感到非常難過。他意識到自己的錯誤。然後他改變成了另一個人。

從那天起，Velan就非常尊重他的父親。他也放棄了喝酒。Velan從自己的兒子那裡學到了教訓。

您應該時刻尊重您的父母。這是你的責任。它帶給您他們的祝福。

A Father learns A Lesson from His Son(2020.03.20)

This Short Story A Father learns A Lesson from His Son is quite interesting to all the people. Enjoy reading this story.

Velan was a carpenter. He was living in a village. His mother dies a long time back. His aged father, Kuppan, lived with Velan. Kuppan was very weak. He could not even walk well. He was so weak. It was because Velan did not give him enough food. He had given his father a small earthen plate. Even a small quantity of rice in the plate appeared to be much. Velan was a bad man. He was a drunkard also. After taking drinks, he abused his father badly.

Velan had a son. His name is Muthu. Muthu was just ten years old. He was a very good boy. He loved his grandfather. He had great respect for his grandfather. He did not like his father’s attitude and character, because his father was treating his grandfather cruelly.

One day Kuppan was eating his food out of earthen plate that his son had given to him. The earthen plate fell down. The plate broke into pieces. The food also fell on the floor. Velan was working at the other end of the room. He saw the broken plate. He was very angry with his father and used very harsh words to abuse his father. The old man felt bad about what happened. He was sorry for his mistake. Velan’s words wounded him very deeply.

Velan’s son, Muthu, saw this. He did not like his father. His father was ill-treating his grandfather. He was afraid to speak against his father. He was sad about his grandfather. But he was not powerful to stand in support of his grandfather.

The next day Muthu took some of his father’s carpentry tools and a piece of wood. He worked with the tools to make a wooden plate. His father saw him working.

“What are you making, Muthu?" he asked.

“I am making a wooden plate!" replied Muthu.

“A wooden plate! What for?" asked his father.

“I am making it for you, father. When you grow old, like my grandfather, you will need a plate for food. A plate made from earth mat break very easily. Then I may scold you severely.

 So, I want to give you a wooden plate. It may not break so easily."

The carpenter was shocked to hear this. Only now he realized his mistake. His father was kind to Velan He had looked after Velan very well. Now, he was old. Velan was treating his father severely. Velan was now very sad about his own behavior. He realized his mistakes. He then became a different person.

From that day, Velan treated his father with great respect. He gave up drinking too. Velan learnt a lesson from his own son.

You should honor your parents at all times. It is your duty. It brings you their blessings.
