Adoption Of Son
Nowadays, child adoption has become a sort of fashion. Every one would like to imitate, what Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did. It is really a good practise for the welfare of the world, provided it’s done in a true spirit. A funny story comes to my mind about adoption of a son.
A man, who had immense wealth, not being blesed with a son, was quite anxious to adopt a son who would inherit all his wealth. When his desire for adoption became known, many candidates called at his house, and each of them related the merits he possesed and the advantages, the wealthy man would derive by adopting him.
One of the candidates was an octogenarian who not only had a son but a grand son as well. The rich man and others seated with him, expressed their surprise that such an old man wanted to be adopted, when the old man appeared for the interview.
The old man however, said, “Sir,if you adopt me as your son, you will not have to worry for three generations to come, for I am a great grandfather in the direct line.”
So, what do you say about this adoption of Son?
