He is now in the old age of his life. How can the youngsters know, how he struggled hard in his days to establish himself in life. Though he started from a scratch, he retired with something substantial to fall back upon. What he earned, must have been sufficient for his son.
But the son had different ideas. He wanted to make money by quicker means. Those were the days when some people made quick money by investing in films. So the son persuaded his father, to part with his hard earned money. Reluctantly, the father granted the request because he was the only son.
The son went to the city and started a business. Because it concerned with cinema, everything had to be spruced. The youngster felt big because stars and starlets were interviewed by him. He had contracts signed by them and invested a fat amount on taking a movie. Even before the work would commence half of his money had been eaten up. Before the movie would go half its length, the youngster was steeped in debts. Distress calls were sent to his father. Then he could not meet his son’s demands. So he persuaded him to come back home. After much hesitation, the youngster packed off his goods and much disillusioned, returned home. when he met his father, the latter simply told him ‘Waste not, want not’.
