Once there was a family of a boy, mother and father who lived in a town. They had a horse. They were very poor as they were the only people in the town who didn't own a car. They also had a garage which was in a deplorable state and their horse was an eyesore (Not good looking) Itâs hooves were spread wide apart which showed their poverty and the boy was ashamed of it.
The name of the boy was Jack. His mother was a very good person. She never let them feel that they were poor. She new the secrets of using brightly coloured curtains and painted in the right places. This gave the house a better look. She always told her family members that living on little inculcates moral values and if they had character, it was preferable to wealth.
His father was very generous and very honest. Though he got a moderate salary but he spent half of it for supporting his relatives.
Once there was a gala night of the country fair. There was very excitement as the winner of the Shining Buick(an expensive and a good car.) was going to be announced in the lottery. Time of waiting had ended and the winner was Jack's father.
The whole family was very excited and went to home but Jack decided to come late because he wanted to share his joy with his friends.
But when he returned home he saw that there was no sound of celebration and the house was dark. He was confused.
He rushed to his father to share his joy. But....He was shocked of his father's reaction. When he came to hug his father he pushed him away and snarled at him.
When he asked his mother that was the problem, she answered that his father had bought two tickets. One for his Boss and the other for himself. To distinguish between them he marked a small letter 'K' on ticket no. 348 on it's top right corner. The judges did not saw it and told the name of the buyer i.e. Jackâs father.
As his father was very honest, he was feeling depressed that should he give the car to his boss or keep it with himself as he had bought the tickets?
The boy was small and thought that it was an 'open and shut case'(a problem which can be solved easily). He thought that his father bought the tickets so the car belongs to his father not the boss.
His father was not practical about his family and had made the decision in his honesty. He ringed up the boss and told him the truth.
His boss was Jim Kendrick who was a millionaire but he was selfish and greedy. He owned a dozen cars. Instead of offering the car to Jack's father, he sent two chauffeurs to collect it and compensated for it by giving a box of cigars.
When the boy was small he didn't understood his father's decision but when he grew up he understood that by giving the car to the boss his father had proved that he had more character than his boss...

Once there was a boy. His name was Jason, and he was not like other boys. He constantly irritated his family, abusing others and swearing. He was a disgrace. Once his father was given policy papers and money of another person. He kept it on the table in his room and went out. As Jason saw it he tried to open it to see what is in it. When he opened it a huge amount of cash came out. Fear gripped his heart. Afraid he would be arrested, he ran to America, seeking sanctuary, and leaving his family behind. But his father became the scapegoat for Jason's crime. He was sent to jail for attempting to steal money, which Jason had done. And his father said not a word against his son. He still loved his son, after all he had done. And he suffered in prison. His son got very hurt because his father was getting punished because of his faults. His son felt pain and regret. His father was being punished because of Jason's own faults, taking the blame for something he didn't do. And he felt this because despite his delinquent ways, he still felt awful for what he had done. He wanted to repent for this serious mistake. He went to be admitted in the U.S. Army. After two years of service, Jason did a very brave and selfless thing, saving his own regiment. For this, he was awarded the Medal of Honor, and earned respect and power among the military. Now was his time to repent for what he had done. With tears flowing from his eyes, the former delinquent stepped into his car. His falsely accused father was escorted out of prison with two guards, for a walk. He had watched many prisoners leaving, bailed by their relatives. And every time he had hoped and prayed that his son would come and save him, that he would repent. For two years he had hoped this. But now he knew his son would never come. And still his father felt sad. What had happened to his son? Would he ever see him again? Burying his head in his hands, the father felt very alone. Then a shining car came towards the jail. Jason's father wistfully thought how lucky some man must be, to have a relative so powerful, thoughtful, and respectful he could bail him out of jail. But when his once-disgraceful son stepped out of the car, the father was flabbergasted, and his eyes were filled with tears of joy and happiness both. His son came to him, and he too had tears in his eyes. "Father...I am sorry," Jason said, bowing his head in sadness and respect. And he took his father home, a father who could be proud of his son for once.
