A Beautiful Answer

My son 'Abhipsu' is nine years old only. The child of Twenty-First Century, so excellent in his studies! I have always marked that Abhi has an inquisitiveness towards so many other things besides his studies. He always asks me a lot of questions about any topic which comes to his mind. He goes on putting a variety of queries like 'Mamma, why it, when it and how it happens. If not so, then how it would be,......so and so.' I try my best to clarify his doubts and at times I really get bored and irritated. Whatever it may be, I appreciate and love him so much.

One day he became so obstinate to listen to stories of epics during his time to sleep. I shouted at him a little bit and told I am not skilled in epic stories. Also, I am feeling too sleepy now. Please go to your Grandfather to request him to hear you. He is a giant on the topics of epics like The Ramayan and The Mahabharat, etc... . He must tell you if you make him a humble request.

Then Abhi ran to his Grandpa. His Grandpa is a 'Man of Principle' and so understanding. He is very affectionate too.

He started to listen Abhi the chapters of 'Ramayan' first and then the 'Mahabharat' in a very lucid and eloquent manner. Anyhow, it took him about three to five days to finish those epics. Abhi went on grasping those nice talks so eagerly.

At the end, Grandpa asked to his dear grandson "Now you speak a few lines about the gist of these two epics to me".

The smart and brilliant grandson answered immediately "Grandpa, these two mythological stories are such long. But I can keep a brief conclusion at you that The Ramayan explains, 'I will not take or accept my rights even if majority of my family members, friends, relatives and my well-wishers are unagree and discontent'. And The Mahabharat explains, 'I will never share your rights also, even if you are most eligible to get and acquire the things happily as an appropriate legal heir. You have to fight with others and win. Finally, you can acquire your property.' 

Now; Grandpa became so astonished about listening to these flawless and awesome words of his little child. He went on digging into his mind that "The whole life, I have been presenting myself about these two great epics in front of all others. But; today my grandson has defeated me by his deep quest for knowledge".

"Wow, What a beautiful answer!"
