A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, only to find his 5-year old son   1  for him at the door.

“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”

“Yeah,___2__ , what is it?”replied the man.

“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”

“That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?”the man said   3   .

“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?”pleaded the little boy.

“If you must know, I make $20 an hour. ”

“Oh,”the little boy replied, with his head   4  . Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please    borrow $10? ”

The father was furious,“if the only reason why you asked that is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to      5   . Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior”

The little boy quietly went to his room and    6   the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy   7   that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

“Are you asleep, son?”He asked.

“No, daddy, I'm   8   .”replied the boy.

“I've been thinking, maybe I was too   9   on you earlier,”said the man, “It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $10 you asked for.”

The little boy sat straight up, smiling.“Oh, thank you daddy!” He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

“Why do you want more money when you already have some?”the father grumbled.

“Because I didn't have   10  , but now I do, ”the little boy replied.“Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”
