There was once a man, who was quite well off in life. he considered himself very successful in life, as he worked in a top position in the company he worked for.
one day, the man's son came to his office and asked, "Father, how much do you earn in work?".
To which the man haughtily replied, "Well my son, since i have a high position in the company, and because i am so diligently focused in my work, i earn 1000 pesos per hour!"
The man then hastily sent his son away, for he claimed that he was too busy for idle talk.
The next day, the son went to the man's office again and said, "Father, could you lend me 200 pesos?"
"For what good purpose should i give you hard-earned money?" asked the man sternly.
To this, the boy replied, "i took out my allowance and saw that i had 800 pesos. if you lend me 200 now, i would have a thousand. if i give you that thousand, then it will be okay for us to talk for an hour."

moral lesson: parents should give their kids more allowance so they can buy ps3's. pero seriously. balance work and family time.
