In English
In due course of time, a son was born to the wealthy man. This boy used to be with his grandparents right from morning till night, listening to moral stories and sacred teachings. The wealthy man tried to prevent his son from going to his grandparents because he thought, “What will happen to my son if he always listens to moral stories from his grandparents?” Every day he provided food in an earthen plate to his parents, without bothering to enquire about their well being. All this was being observed by this tender-hearted boy. He thought to himself, “Whose property is this in which my parents are living and enjoying all comforts and conveniences? It is only the property of my grandparents. It is only due to my grandparents that my parents have a name in society. How unjust it is that they are illtreating my grandparents in spite of enjoying all their property!” In order to teach a lesson to his parents, this small boy one day took away the earthen plate and hid it somewhere. Next day, his parents were searching for the earthen plate in order to serve food to the old parents. “Mother and father, what are you searching for?” asked the boy.
