Story

A man came home late one night for the third time in a row. Tired and in a bad mood, he found his five-year-old son waiting for him.
" Daddy, can I ask you a question ?"
" Yeah, sure. What is it?" replied the man in a gruff voice.
" How much money do you male an hour?"
" That's none of your business! What would make you ask such a thing ?" said the man angrily.
" I just wanted to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.
"If you must know, I make twenty dollars an hour," said his father.
The little boy looked up at his father and said, "Daddy, can I borrow nine dollars please?"
Now the father was furious. " If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is so that you could buy some silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours every day and I don't have time for such childish games."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man started to get even madder about the little boy's questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man calmed down. He started to think he might have been a little hard on his son. maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that nine dollars, and the truth was, he didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the little boy's room and opened the door. " Are you asleep son?" he asked.
" No Daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
" I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man. " It's been a long day and I took my aggravtions out on you. Here's that nine dollars you asked for."
The little boy sat up, beaming. " Oh, thank you Daddy!" he yelled.
Then reaching under his pillow, he pulled out a bunch of crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
"Why did you want more money if you already had some? " the man grumbled.
" Because I didn't have enough, but now I do, " the little boy replied. " Daddy, I have twenty dollars now. Will you play with me for an hour?"
