“Dad, I want yours.”
These
two are same bowls of noodles. Jerry want to change with his father (Jody)’s noodles
just because the one which in front of his father had a egg on the top. Jody
and his father Ben looked at each other and smiled. This scene reminded them
went back to 38 years ago.
Jody was a 5 years old boy, wayward and
selfish, even he thought he was the center of the whole world. One day, Jody’s
father Ben cooked for him. Ben cooked two bowls of noodles. But one with egg on
the top and another one looks like without egg. Then Jody’s father asked him ,
“ dear, which one you want?” “I want the one with egg on the top!” he answered
very clear. “ Can you let me take that one?”
Ben tried to change with him. But Jody refused to change with his father.
Then he ate half of the egg in order to improved the one is his. The father began
to eat after seeing Jody almost finished the whole bowl of noodles . But suddenly
Jody found that there had two eggs inside his father’s noodles. Jody thought
his father lied to him. He said very madly, “ Dad, how come you never told me
that one has two eggs under the noodles? “ But the father said “ remember, people
who want to take advantage,usually account for less than cheap.”
Few months later, Jody’s father did two
bowls of noodles again. He asked Jody like the last time he did: “ son, which
one you want.” This time Jody chose the one looks like without egg. Actually he
thought the egg must inside the noodles like the one which last time his father
ate. But unfortunately, he did not find any egg until he finished his whole
meal. He looks like very confused and asked his father: “ why today’s noodles
are not same as the one which last time you cooked ? ” This time his father
said: “people who want to take advantage, could be disastrous.”
The third time, father still cooked two bowls
of noodles. He still asked his son which one he wanted. This time Jody said: “
I have grow up already, please choose one that you want to eat.”His father chose
the one with egg on the top. But Jody no longer felt very sad, rather, he began
to ate very quite. But it really made Jody unexpected that there also had egg inside
his bowl. This time his father said: “people who do not want to take
advantages, life will not let you lose.”
Jody’s father tough many truths of life by
eating noodles. Now his son Jerry said same as what he said 38 years ago. So he
began telling that story to his son.
