Nick was 10 years old. Nick’s father was very busy. He could not spend time with his son. He came home after Nick slept, and was off to office before Nick woke up in the morning.
One day, Nick was surprised to see his father at home in the evening. “Dad, it is a big surprise to see you at home,” Nick said.
“Yes, my meeting was cancelled. So I’m at home. But after two hours I have to fly to New York,” his father said.
“When will you be back?”
“Tomorrow noon.”
Then Nick asked, “Dad, how much do you make in a year?”
Nick’s father was taken aback. He said, “My dear son, it’s a very big amount and you won’t be able to understand it.”
“OK dad, are you happy with the amount you make?”
“Yes my dear. I’m very happy.”
“Yes, dad. I’m happy to hear that. Can I ask you one more question?”
“Yes, dear.”
“Dad, can you tell me how much you make in a day or even half a day?”
“Nick, why are you asking this question?” Nick’s father said.
But Nick was persistent. “Please answer me. Can you please tell me how much you make in an hour?”
Nick’s father gave in and replied, “It will be around $ 25/- per hour.”
Nick ran to his room upstairs, and came down with his piggy bank. “Dad, I have $50 in my piggy bank. Can you spend two hours with me? I want to go to the beach and have dinner with you tomorrow evening. Can you please mark this in your schedule?”
Nick’s father was speechless!
