A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner. Father being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on his shirt and trousers. Other diners watched him in disgust while his son was calm. After he finished eating, his sons ntt



wiped his mouth and hands, and then gently cleared away the food stains from his father's shirt and trousers. The son noticed the disapproving looks from other diners but remained composed and unruffled.

When they left the restaurant, the son, with a warm smile, said to his father, "Dad, let's come to this restaurant again someday. I enjoyed the meal, and you should feel comfortable here."

The old man, touched by his son's love and understanding, replied with gratitude, "Thank you, my son. I appreciate your kindness, and I'm grateful to have a son like you."

The father and son left the restaurant, hand in hand, cherishing the bond they shared and the valuable lesson in compassion and respect they had taught the other diners. It was a reminder that love and care for our elders are actions that deserve not only our understanding but also our applause.
