Once upon a time, a pencil and an eraser. Both were good friends and would always be together. Both of them knew that they are nothing without each other.One day, the pencil was drawing a straight line. The eraser was looking at the pencil. All of a sudden, the pencil lost its balance and straight line created by the pencil was ruined. Now, the pencil got very sad because she knew that the eraser would have to suffer because of her mistake

The pencil said to the eraser,
“I am so sorry!”. “I am sorry, you get hurt because of me. Whenever I make a mistake, you are always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish away, you lose a part of yourself and get smaller each time,” cried the pencil.

On hearing this, the eraser replied, ” I really don’t mind. You see, I was made to do this, I was made to help you everytime you did something wrong. Even though one day, I know I will be gone. I am actually happy with what I do. So please, stop worrying! I will not be happy if I see you sad.”

Moral of the story: Whatever happens, take responsibility. The price of greatness is responsibility.

Our parents are just like our erasers, and we are the pencil. They are always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way they get hurt and with time, they become older and older. The parents are always happy with what they do for their children and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying or sad.
