A little boy got angry with his mother and shouted at her,
"I hate you, I hate you." Because of fear of reprimand, he ran out of
the house. He went up to the valley and shouted, "I hate you, I hate
you," and back came the echo, "I hate you, I hate you." This was
the first time in his life he had heard an echo.
He got scared, went to his
mother for protection and said there was a bad boy in the valley who shouted
"I hate you, I hate you." The mother understood and she asked her son
to go back and shout, "I love you, I love you." The little boy went
and shouted, "I love you, I love you," and back came the echo.
That taught the little boy a lesson that our life is like an
echo: We get back what we give. Benjamin Franklin said, "When you are
good to others, you are best to yourself.”
