Friends, in our country, the tradition of storytelling has existed for centuries. We have grown up listening to stories from our grandparents, aunts, and uncles. However, in today's digital world, it seems that this tradition of storytelling is slowly fading away.
Through stories, not only children but also adults learn and understand a great deal. Our endeavor is to entertain you with new stories that also carry a message. We hope you enjoy our stories. Here is an interesting story for you, titled:
"When I Grow Old! - Precious Stories"
When I grow old, completely frail and weak, will you still be patient with me? Imagine, if a delicate glass slips from my hand, or if I accidentally knock over a bowl of vegetables on the table, I won't be able to see properly, will I? Please don't scold me! Elderly people often feel neglected all the time, don't you know?
One day, I might lose my hearing, and I won't understand what you're saying immediately, but please don't call me deaf! If necessary, bear with the trouble and repeat yourself or write it down on paper. Forgive me, I've grown old according to the laws of nature, what can I do, tell me?
And when my knees begin to tremble, both legs refuse to bear the weight of this body, will you give me a little support to stand up, please? Just like you taught me to stand on my feet for the first time by holding my toes?
Sometimes, I might ramble like a broken record player, please bear with me. Please don't make fun of me. Don't be restless with my rambling. Do you remember how many times you pestered me near my ears for a balloon until I finally bought it for you? Do you remember?
If possible, forgive the odor of my body as well. The smell of old age emanates from me. Don't force me to bathe. By then, my body will be too weak; a little water will immediately make me feel cold. Please don't wrinkle your nose at me! Do you remember how I used to run after you because you didn't want to bathe? Believe me, the elderly are like that. Maybe one day you will understand, maybe one day!
If you have time, we'll chat together, okay? Even if it's only for a few moments. I spend the whole day alone; my time doesn't pass alone. I know you will be very busy with your work, even if you don't enjoy listening to my old stories, still stay with me for a while. Do you remember how many times I used to listen to your little stories in childhood, kept listening, and you kept talking, kept talking. I also used to tell you many stories, remember?
One day I will be lying in bed, will you take a little care of me? Forgive me if I accidentally wet the bed, soil the sheets, don't leave me in my final moments, please!
When the time comes, hold my hand in yours. Give me a little courage so that I can embrace death fearlessly. Don't worry, when I see my creators, I will whisper in their ears to bless you. Protect you from all calamities. Because you loved me, took care of me in old age.
I love you very much, dear. Take good care. What else can I say, what else can I give you?
