The other day I was at a barber’s
shop. When I entered, a small kid of around 4-5 was getting his hair cut on one
seat and his father was getting his on the next. The kid was very talkative, as
kids usually are at this age. His father seemed to be not liking his talks, so
whenever he asked him anything, he would give an annoyed answer and ask him to
stop speaking. So very often the boy talked to himself.
At one instance, he saw many mosquitos in the shop. So, he addressed the barber with something like this, “Uncle, you have many mosquitos here. Do you have a bat which kills mosquitos? If you don’t have, then I will give you my blue bat for some time and you can kill these mosquitos.” Neither the barber nor his father heard it, so no one replied. But I noticed the child-like innocence and also a noble idea in his offer. He actually wanted to help the barber, since the barber seemed to be helpless with mosquitos without a bat. It was a very touching gesture.

After a while when the father started
getting his hair colored, the kid asked, “why are you getting your hair colored?
Let it be like that.” His father was speechless at this.
