Lesson which should be kept in mind

                    Lesson which should be kept in mind


Rahul is a school going boy. He is a prankster. He is been given a bad grade in school too for his conduct. His parents were worried of this.
Rahul's mother didnt like her child's behaviour of giving trouble to others. She believes that children must be taught good values in young age . She decided that she will make her child to realise his mistake. But she didnt know where to start.
One day, Rahul came home catching a butterfly. His grip was so firm that poor butterfly was almost dead by now. Mother was watching what Rahul does next. Rahul brought a match stick box , emptied it and in that he put buterfly.
Mother felt very bad. She called Rahul and asked him to free the butterfly . But Rahul was adamant and he refused. Mother didnt say anything but she thought of a plan.
Next day evening , Rahul came back from school. He entered his room. He was very surprised to see all the windows are firmly latched . As soon as he entered the room, door had been latched from outside. Rahul didnt mind. He finished all his routine works and switched on light.
But power was cut. Now there is total darkness in room. He was feeling hungry and thirsty too. He called for his mother ,but no reply. Soon he started to get scared because of darkness . He banged the door and asked his mother to open the door.
Mother was standing there itself watching her son through the keyhole of door. Mother quickly opened door. Rahul ran outside, sat on the sofa and heaved a sigh of relief. Mother came near him. Rahul is now crying. He hugged his mother and asked why she has done this to him?
Mother calmly replied " You had kept the butterfly in similar condition. You didnt think that it may die because of lack of oxygen. I freed it as soon as you were away. We must not give trouble to others , if we cant make others happy."
Rahul learnt a great lesson. He decided that he will not trouble anyone from that day onwards.
