Father and son riding

 A father and a son were out riding their bikes and while talking about certain stories especially the father telling parts of his past life to his son there came a moment when his son saw the old clothes and shoes of an old poor farmer who had left them on the side of his land and kept working. His shoes were rotten and the son said to his father; "Shall we take these shoes away and hide ourselves to see what the old man would do when he doesn't find them at the right place?" His father got angry and said instead, "Let's put a golden coin on each shoe and hide ourselves to see what is going on with him."

The father and son placed the gold coins on the farmer's shoes and hid in a nearby bush to observe. After a while, the farmer returned to the spot where he had left his shoes and saw the golden coins. At first, he was confused and looked around to see if anyone was watching him. Then, he picked up the coins and examined them closely, still unsure of what was going on. Suddenly, the farmer looked up and saw the father and son hiding in the bush. He smiled and waved to them, holding up the gold coins as if to say thank you.

The father and son emerged from the bush, and the father explained that he wanted to teach his son a lesson about empathy and kindness. He told him that the farmer was poor and probably needed new shoes, and that the gold coins would be a great help to him. The son nodded in understanding and apologized for his earlier suggestion.
