WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND.
Once upon a time a wealthy man desired to build a new home. His son was a
contractor so the father went to him and said, "Son, I want this house built
according to this plan and of the best materials. I'll not question you as
to the price. Just be sure that you build it well."
The son thought, "Dad isn't going to live much longer and any house I build
or any material I use won't make a difference. I just won't use the best
lumber or brick but I will charge just the same as if I had used them.
The son built the new home and the day came when he was to hand the keys
over to his father. The home was indeed beautiful to the mother and father
but the son knew that underneath this exterior there were inferior
materials. His conscience began to bother him.
He consoled himself with the idea that when his parents died he would get
the money anyway so what difference did it make.
The big moment arrived and the son handed the keys to his father. Much to
his surprise the father handed the keys back and said, "Son, we planned this
as a surprise to you. You didn't build this home for us----
MOTHER AND I ARE GIVING IT TO YOU."
