Rajendra - thank you for sharing this beautiful story. I am not sure
of the original moral but I will try to tell you what I felt.
It is the little emotional things in life that make life beautiful and
plentiful. Sometimes - in our passion for life - we only try and
collect valuables worth thousands or millions of dollars. But as the
father realized in the end - the moments with his son are more
precious than all of his other artifacts. So, if anyone realized the
worth of a loved one - deserves all the riches in the world.
Be happy! Polly
