Father gives his daughter an old rusty car, but there’s a surprising twist

In a world in which we often find ourselves at the mercy of others’ judgments, a father’s thoughtful gift to his daughter offers a reminder we can all hold dear.

Whether this story is true or not, thought it would be worthy of sharing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I love the lesson this little story teaches! (There was no author’s name given).

A father said to his daughter, “You graduated with honors, here is a car I acquired many years ago. It is several years old. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them you want to sell it and see how much they offer you.

The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because it looks very worn out.”

The father said, ”Take it to the pawn shop.”

The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said, ”The pawn shop offered $100 because it is a very old car.”

The father asked his daughter to go to a car club and show them the car.

The daughter took the car to the club, returned and told her father:

“Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it since it’s a Nissan Skyline R34, an iconic car and sought after by many.”

The father said to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way.”

The moral of the story is that true value is often hidden beneath the surface, and how we are treated can reflect our worth. It encourages us to seek environments and relationships where we are appreciated and valued, reminding us not to let others’ opinions define our self-worth.

BONUS STORY : What this son does for his elderly dad is a lesson for us all
In this story, the son brings his old father out for a bite at a restaurant, and others are apparently shocked that the old man eats in a rather messy way, being too weak to properly hold his utensils.

Naturally the old frail man’s table manners aren’t up to par – but clearly the guests in this restaurant have little to envy with theirs. They snort and mock the old man. Meanwhile, his son patiently helps him through his meal, while a waiter watches carefully as the scene unfolds…

A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner.

Father being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on his shirt and trousers. Others diners watched him in disgust while his son was calm.

After he finished eating, his son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took him to the wash room, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed his hair and fitted his spectacles firmly.

When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in dead silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that.

The son settled the bill and started walking out with his father.

At that time, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him, “Don’t you think you have left something behind?”.

The son replied, “No sir, I haven’t”.

The old man retorted, “Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every son and hope for every father”.

The restaurant went silent.

Share this important lesson with all your loved ones. Let’s remind everyone of the value of our elders.
