________________
write a phone number and needed a pen. She shouted out to her son who gave a pen but it was not working properly and at the other end the caller was calling out the number rapidly. Hence the mother angrily asked the son to keep the pen back. The son also made some argument and the mother lost her temper.
She threw the tongs at her son and his nose broke. Do we call this a house ....? Where a pen doesn't work and tongs fly! What a small issue and what a big loss ......?
Now go for some analysis :
This loss could have been prevented, If.... The head of the family sitting in the drawing room would not have called the daughter-in-law and instead made the efforts to take the call himself, There would have been a pen and paper near the phone itself, The mother had attempted to understand that the son had given a pen as soon as he was asked for it how is he to blame if the pen doesn't work ? The guy who was calling out the number had tried to understand the difficulty of the lady attending to the call, The son would have checked the pen and given to his mother, The son would have understood the mother's
circumstances and given another pen or • If some other member of the house had come forward
and noted down the numbers. There were so many options which could have been implemented but remained hanging in the air between ifs and buts and the tong was released causing so much damage. Why? Because patience was lost !
