A Story of a Father That Ate Earthworm

In our lives, we are pushed to do unwanted things. We need to keep our thoughts original and in action. If we follow others’ commands knowing those are wrong, we push ourselves towards nasty and disgusting paths.

Once a child, around 3 years old, asked his father to bring earthworms as he wanted to eat. Father was hesitant and tried his best to convince the son, not to eat earthworms.

The child started crying. He was saying just one sentence “ I want to eat earthworm, I want to eat earthworm”. Father tried different toys, took him outside to show birds, gave him chocolates, and candies, and offered ice cream and whatnot. But the child was not ready to let go of the earthworm.

So Father went out, dug out earthworms, and brought them in.

The child was happy, but there was one more wish.

The child wanted to eat fried earthworms.

So, his father fried a few earthworms, put them on a plate, and brought them in front of the child. Ew, you can imagine the condition of the heart of the father. But it did not end there.

The child made another wish that first his father should eat an earthworm only then he would eat. Father first denied but the previous drama of crying and different acts started.

At last, Father gave up and ate one earthworm, The Child gave him 2nd, then 3rd. When there was one left in the plate child started crying once again that the father had eaten the earthworm that the child was supposed to eat. And now he would not eat the left one.

The father was speechless while the child went to another room in search of another adventure.
