Misplaced Affection|محبت بی جا


“225th Story”

In a friend gathering Sam said: “Who knows what is the meaning of the misplaced affection?”

Pedram replied: “Let me tell you a story to explain the true meaning of the misplaced affection.”

Pedram sighed loudly and continued: ” I was in grade four. and saw one of my classmates crying. I asked him why, and he said: “I have lost my five-dollar bill.”

Pedram; “I secretly took a five-dollar bill out of my pocket, bent on the floor, and said: “Oh, there it was your five dollars. I found it.”

The classmate became very happy, and left the class to buy his lunch.

The teacher called me and said: “I saw you put his five dollar bill in your pocket. That is stealing.”

Another classmate heard the word stealing and spread in the school that I’m a thief.

As much as I tried to explain that I have no idea what had happen to that boy’s five-dollar bill, and I just wanted to help him out of kindness and love, but it didn’t work.

Now I was crying.

Pedram: “So, my act easily caused me harm, and I was the victim of a misplaced affection. I guess that didn’t teach me a good lesson and stopped me from doing many great affactions in my life time.”

Dear friends don’t forget to read my books.

  4. As we mature in life, we learn to avoid such ill fated situations. But it’s hard to tell an innocent child that.
