A man made a lot of money doing various kinds of business. But he did not use the money for bad habits. His son was a wasteful spender. Moreover, the rich man’s son also has many bad habits. The rich man was very hurt by his son’s behavior. ‘How will my son, who has so many bad qualities, live after me?’ So the rich man went to his son with pain in his mind and told his son several times that “money should not be wasted and bad habits should not be indulged in”. However, the son did not listen to the father. He got addicted to bad habits because of his desire.
A few days later the rich man died. Since then, the son has been without a face. He has run out of people to tell him about good and bad. He became addicted to alcoholism and gambling and spent all the property his father had given him. He sold the valuables in the house. At last he was left with only one shawl. It was winter and he was walking on the road covered with a shawl. At that time he saw a strange bird. Actually that strange bird is seen only in spring season. Seeing it, the rich man’s son forgot that it was winter. He thought it was spring. He immediately sold the shawl as he had no use for it and lost the money in gambling. In fact, it was winter and the gambler and drunkard got nervous and fell due to extreme cold.
Before his fall, the gambling and drunkard man thought, “A strange bird that should appear in spring has appeared in winter. I mistook it for spring and sold it with a shawl that I no longer needed. That’s why I’m falling because I can’t stand the cold. “That strange side is the reason for my condition,” he blamed it.
MORAL : Some people blame others for the damage caused by their own hands.
