Rama worked for more than 16 hours a day. His kids weren’t able to see him face to face every day. At first, the kids liked Sundays as his father would spend the whole day with them. Unluckily, to meet the increasing household expenses, Rama took on a weekend job. He has to work even on Sundays. The kids were very shattered and so were Rama’s wife and parents!
A year passed, and the family moved to a new house. They lived a better life. However, as usual, Rama continued to work all day to make more money. One day his wife asked him, “Why are you running for money? We can be happy with what we have now.” Rama replied, “I want to give the best in the world to all of you and want you to stay happy always.”
Quickly, Rama’s family was one of the richest families in the city. They went to their beach house to spend their vacation. His daughter asked, “Dad, will you please spend one day at home and stay with us here?” Rama replied, “Yes, tomorrow for sure, I will join you for the lunch and be with you all for next few days!”
Unluckily, the next day, none in Rama’s family were alive as they were washed out in Tsunami (海啸)! Rama was too busy even to hear the news about Tsunami. When he tried to reach his beach house, he could not even find the dead bodies of his family. He could never have them again! He could not even see them and even by paying millions he could never get them back to life!
He remembered his wife’s words, “Why are you running for money? We can be happy with what we have now.”
