PENCIL AND ERASER STORY (Amazing)

This is an imaginary conversation between a Pencil and an Eraser.

Pencil:    I am sorry.

Eraser:    For what ? You did not do anything wrong.

Pencil:    I am sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake,
              you are always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you
              lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser:    That is true. But I do not really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was
               made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day,
               I know I will be gone and and you will replace me with a new one, I am
               actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying, I hate seeing you sad.

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are

like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They are always there for their children,

cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller/

older, and eventually pass on.

Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy

with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying,

or sad. All my life, I have been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents

getting smaller each day. For I know that one day, all that I am left with would be eraser shavings

and memories of what I used to have.
