Timeless lesson on wealth

A well-known Scottish proverb, " The father buys, the son builds, the grandchild sells, and his son begs" , is undeniably a timeless lesson about wealth, family fortunes, and even financial discipline.  This age-old saying reflects how wealth collected by one generation can gradually disappear when later generations fail to keep, manage or grow it.  This can be directly correct in view of that country's experience. Such a marked disposition does not appear in India if we try to analyse it. There are so many instances in our great country where the careless son wastes all the wealth of his father.

After all, she could do nothing more than deliver such a sketchy reaction.

In the meantime, her neighbour, a close relative, sent a plateful of Kebabs for her afternoon meal. This brought tremendously pacifying thrills to her desolate face as she no longer needed to curse the unexpected power failure. 

Her big problem with the long wait for the electricity restoration no longer remained important. Her concern was out of her mind now. 

She looked quite relaxed, satisfied and happy at such a time. Thus, she was now safe from having to prepare the required lunch item for her small family.

She did not pause to thank Almighty for this sort of unexpected arrangement. It was indeed a blessing for her instantly.
