[0:00]Every day, a hard-working father would give his son one coin. Take this, he'd say, and save it. One day you might need it. But the son, he never listened. Every time, he'd walk to the river and throw the coin into the water. Every single day. The father saw it, but he said nothing. The boy didn't work, didn't study. He lived in his father's house, ate his father's food, spent his father's sweat. Then one day, everything changed. The father fell seriously ill. He couldn't work. They had no money, no food, no hope. So the son, now desperate, left the house. And for the first time in his life, he worked. All day, under the burning sun, lifting heavy boxes, breaking his back. At the end of the day, he earned one coin. He returned home, exhausted. He handed the coin to his father and said, Dad, this is all I earned today. The father looked at him, trembling. He got up. Come with me, he said. They walked together until they reached the river. Without a word, the father took the coin and threw it into the water. The son froze, then shouted, Dad, what are you doing? That's my coin. I worked all day for that. The father placed a hand on his shoulder. His voice was calm. Now you understand, he said. This is what you've been doing to me, every single day. I gave you the coin I earned with my old weak hands. And you threw it away, not once, but over and over again. The son's eyes filled with tears. And the father, with a faint smile, whispered, it's not about the coin. It's about how it was earned.
