I should follow in your footsteps!

- Mist became Moti-Kumarpal Desai

The merchant who ran the shop in the village gradually started handing over the responsibility to his son in old age. In time, his son took over the running of the shop. For a while, the son took good care of his father, but gradually he began to ignore and despise him. He kept his bed in the room at the end of the house where there was no sun or light. He also started giving meals in the room.

The son thought that if we give food in a metal vessel, then we have to wash the eight utensils. Instead, he brought an earthenware vessel and served it to his father.

Shortly afterwards the old merchant died. The son made the whole village eat sweets to show his immense love for his father. After the funeral was over, the young merchant went into the room and began throwing out his father's belongings one by one.

He threw out his broken bed. Old clothes thrown out. As he was about to throw away the pottery, the young merchant's son said, "Daddy! Don't throw away Grandpa's utensils. That's all I have to keep. "

The young businessman said, "What? What is the benefit of keeping such waste? What is the use of it? This has to be thrown away. "

The son said, "No. These utensils are very useful. One day when you grow old and I have to take care of my head, you will also need pottery! At that time, instead of buying new utensils from the market, I will use only these earthenware utensils. I must follow in your footsteps! "

Listening to his son, the father sank into deep thought and after a while said, "Son! You are right You should treat me the same way you treated my father. Oh, I wish I had known better beforehand that the good and bad deeds of a father affect his son. "

The young merchant shook his head. The son said, "Father, now you throw away those earthenware. There is no need to worry about that, because you have already realized your mistake. "
