This is an eye-opener to the youth to give importance to the money, big or small, that their parents are giving to them. Every cent is from every ounce of their blood and sweat. These days, it’s rare to see this kind of trait in the youngsters. The story, hopefully, can teach the youth who are blinded by materialistic views to spend the money they have wisely.
