SON OH SON DAUGHTER OH DAUGHTER The new teacher who came to a girls' school was very beautiful, she was just getting a little older but she was not married yet... All the students used to make different assumptions after seeing her. One day during a program when the students were standing around her, one student asked her in the course of conversation that Madam why have you not got married yet...? The teacher said, "First let me tell you a story. A woman, in her greed for a son, kept giving birth to five daughters in a row. When she became pregnant for the sixth time, her husband threatened her that if this time too, a daughter is born, he will throw her out on the street or square. The woman started praying to God while crying alone, because it was not in her control to give birth to a son as per her wish. This time too, a daughter was born. The husband picked up the newborn daughter and left her in the square in the middle of the city in the darkness of the night. The mother kept praying for that little life all night, crying. Next day, when the father reached the square to see the daughter, he saw that the girl was lying there. To keep her alive, the father brought the daughter back home, but the next night he again left the daughter in the same square. This kept happening every day. Every time the father would leave the newborn daughter outside and when no one would take her back, he was forced to bring her back. So much so that one day the father got tired and calmed down thinking it was God's will. Then after a year, when the mother became pregnant again, This time she gave birth to a son. But after a few days, one of the six daughters died. The mother became pregnant five times and gave birth to sons each time. But each time, one of her daughters died." Tears started falling from the teacher's eyes. She wiped her tears and then started speaking further. "Now only one daughter was left alive and she was the same daughter from whom the father wanted to get rid of. One day suddenly the mother also left this world. Here the five sons and one daughter all slowly grew up." The teacher then said, "You know, I am the only daughter who survived. I have not married yet because my father has become so old that he cannot even eat with his hands and there is no one else in the house who can serve him. I am the only one who serves and takes care of him. The five sons for whom father was worried, live separately with their wives and children. They just come sometimes and ask about father's well-being." She smiled a little. Then she said - "My father now cries to me every day with shame and says, my dear daughter, please forgive me for what I did to you in childhood." Friends, there is a lovely story about the love of a daughter for her father that a father was playing with his son. To boost his son's morale, he was losing on purpose. The daughter sitting far away could not tolerate her father's defeat and hugged her father and said crying- "Papa! You play with me, so that I can lose for your victory." Daughters are like this!
