Parents' Love

I have been planning for a while on sharing something on this so-far-largely-dormant blog and finally I have managed to get into action with this post. My favourite subjects of writing are around life, human relations and society. This post is an initial attempt on those lines. I am sharing a short story that I had read from the magazine called Wisdom when I was a kid.

A little boy and his father were walking together. On their way, they had to cross a narrow bridge. As they were about to get on to the bridge, the father said to the boy, "Beta! Hold my hand tightly, else you may slip and fall down." The little boy thought for a moment and replied, "Papa! Why don't you hold my hand instead? Because, if anything happens, I may leave your hand but I know you will never leave my hand!"

An amazing story about how much parents love their children. What makes it beautiful is that this is conveyed through the trust the little boy has in his father :-)
I am not sure if Wisdom magazine is being published at present, but it is one of my favourite magazines from my childhood and it left me several memories that I cherish even today. I am sharing a picture (that I managed to find online) of the cover page of one of the editions of that magazine, just in case it brings some of the readers' memories back too!
