DON’T YOU THINK YOU HAVE LEFT SOMETHING BEHIND?

A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner.
Father being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on his shirt and
trousers.
Other diners watched him in disgust while his son was calm

After he finished eating, his son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took
him to the washroom,
wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed his hair and fitted his
spectacles firmly.
When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in dead
silence,
not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like
that.
The son settled the bill and started walking out with his father.
At that time, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked
him,
“Don’t you think you have left something behind?”.
The son replied, “No sir, I haven’t”.
The old man retorted,
“Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every son and hope for every father”.
The restaurant went silent.
