Then they said, "Son, it is very difficult to assess the value of a man, that is precious."
Children - are all equally precious and important?
Dad - yes sons
The child did not understand anything, he asked again - then why is there a poor person in this world who is rich? Why is there any less respects of anybody?
Upon hearing the question, Dad kept quiet for some time and then asked the child to bring an iron rod lying in the store room.
Father brought the rod after asking - what will it cost?
Child - Rs 200
Dad - If I make it a lot of small nails, then what will it cost?
The child talked for a while, and then it would be expensive to sell around Rs. 1000.
Papa - If I make lots of clocks of this clock with this iron?
The child kept counting for a while and then immediately got excited and said, "Then its price will be very high."
