The question of a little boy
Oneday Akash was reading his new Nursery books. It was full of beautiful colorful pictures. Finally he reached to the page where he learned about social helpers. There were so many pictures like doctor, nurse, engineer, farmer, barbar and so on. Her little mind was fascinated wondering about them and how they contribute in our society. Finally his mom came and sat down beside him. She asked her, “So... my sweetheart what do you wanna be in future, don't you wanna be a community helper like them? My son tell me, will you be the doctor or the engineer?” He thought for a little bit and asked a question in soft voice –
“Mom, what if I'll be a farmer, they're the most important I guess, after all they feed us. Isn't it? 😊” This little question of him made her wonder. Isn't he right? Then why society why? Why a doctor or engineer will always get the respect, why a fermer will be down in everyone's eyes? They both are equally important for us. Then what's the different between them? Only the financial status? Does money mean that much? Why there is no prestige of a fermer's son? Why can't the parents tell their child to be a farmer in future? She don't know how to answer the little kid. Even now many boys and girls ar judged by what his or her father does, in school and other places. “Dear, can you be a real man? Who will bring equality between the doctors and the farmers?”
He replied “Sure Mom! Akash loves Mummy!”
