Father gives his daughter an old rusty car, but there’s a surprising twist
In a world where we frequently feel judged by others, a caring gift from a father to his daughter serves as a reminder that we can all cherish.
I’m not sure if this story is real or not, but I thought it was worth sharing. I really hope you like it as much as I did!
I love the lesson this little story teaches! (There was no author’s name given).
A dad told his daughter, “You graduated with honors! Here’s a car I got a long time ago. It’s pretty old now. But before I give it to you, I want you to take it to the used car lot downtown and see how much they’ll pay for it.”
The daughter went to the used car lot and came back to her dad, saying, “They offered me $1,000 because it looks really worn out.”
The dad replied, “Now, take it to the pawn shop.”
So, the daughter went to the pawn shop and returned to her dad, saying, “They only offered me $100 since it’s such an old car.”
Then the dad suggested, “Why don’t you take it to a car club and show them?”
The daughter took the car to the club and came back to her father with an update.
“Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it since it’s a Nissan Skyline R34, an iconic car and sought after by many.”
The father said to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way.”
The moral of the story is that true value is often hidden beneath the surface, and how we are treated can reflect our worth. It encourages us to seek environments and relationships where we are appreciated and valued, reminding us not to let others’ opinions define our self-worth.
BONUS STORY : What this son does for his elderly dad is a lesson for us all
In this tale, a son takes his elderly father to a restaurant for a meal, and the other diners seem surprised by how messy the old man eats, struggling to hold his utensils because of his frailty.
Of course, the old man’s table manners aren’t great, but the other guests aren’t exactly perfect either. They laugh and make fun of him. Meanwhile, the son stays calm and helps his father eat, while a waiter observes the situation closely.
A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner.
Father was really old and frail, and while he was eating, he accidentally spilled food on his shirt and pants. The other people at the table looked at him with disgust, but his son stayed calm.
Once they were done eating, the son, who didn’t feel embarrassed at all, gently took his dad to the restroom. He cleaned off the food bits, got rid of the stains, fixed his dad’s hair, and made sure his glasses were on properly.
When they stepped outside, everyone in the restaurant was staring at them in complete silence, shocked that someone could make such a fool of themselves in front of so many people.
The son paid the bill and began to leave with his dad.
Just then, an elderly man from the crowd shouted to the son, “Aren’t you forgetting something?”
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.
Share this important lesson with all your loved ones. Let’s remind everyone of the value of our elders.
