The Sports car and the Quran

The sports car and the Quran

One day, a young man were getting ready to be graduated from a college.

He had his admiration of owning a sports car he saw on one of the dealer's showroom.

Realizing that he'll be graduated with flying colors, and knowing that his father could afford to buy one for him, he went to his father one night and told him. His father listens, and only congratulate him. Nothing he had said about the sports car. As for the young man, his father silence is considered a consent.

As the graduation day comes, the young man eagerly waited signs of his father giving him the present he wanted. Before the graduation, his father called him into his study room. He told his son of how proud he was of him. Later, he handed a beautifully wrapped gift box.

Soon after graduation ceremony, he opened the gift box and found that it is a very beautiful leather-clad Quran. However, the young man, thought that his father had given him the key to his long awaited sports car, were very disappointed and went to his father in rage.

He told his father of how he is so disappointed of how his father had given him only a Quran and not a sports car as he told earlier. Without giving space for his father to reply or answer, he went out and say the last word to his father;

"I will own the car on my own, Dad. I'll work hard for it. I won't be needing you!" he said.

He left the house and never return.

After he left the house, he did worked hard to earn the money and becoming a very successful businessman and having a beautiful family. After a while, he thought about his father that he left alone, he realized that his father had becoming an old man and he should forget the past and go to meet him and apologized.

One day, he got a mail from his relatives informing of his father illness. Before he got time to go back home, he got another message telling that his father had passed away.

He went back home and cried in regret. His father was buried and all left is the old house.

He went to look at his father old house and found the Quran his father gave him on the morning of the graduation day. While he opened the Quran, an envelope containing a key fell. He took the key and there's a tag read;

" Sinar Automobiles, 27th September 1989, PAID IN FULL"

He was shocked to realized that the dealer's name of the sports car he desired long ago.

p/s: So, the moral of the story is, is your father gave you a beautifully leather-clad Quran, or something similar, to it, and you are very sure your father could buy you a sports car, then check the Quran thoroughly. There's might be a key attached to it.... ngehehe...
