DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.

SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do youask such a thing?" the man said angrily.

SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "If you must know, I make $20 an hour."

"Oh", the little boy replied, with his head ing up, he said,"Daddy, may I please borrow$10?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money tobuy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and goto bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childishbehaviour."

The little boy quietly went to his room an! d shut the man sat down and started toget even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to getsome money?
