These are collection of stories from various resources which are collated in our blog Saibalsanskaar.

A Pencil and an Eraser
Let us always be in gratitude for the love and compassion bestowed upon us by our parents. The only way we can reciprocate is by caring and loving them and bring a smile to their face.
If you can’t be a pencil to write someone’s happiness, then try to be a nice eraser to remove their sadness.

Value: Love, Compassion
Sub-Value: Patience, Duty
Pencil, “I’m sorry…”
Eraser, “For what? You didn’t do anything wrong…”
Pencil, “I’m sorry, you get hurt because of me… Whenever I make a mistake, you’re always there to erase it, But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself and get smaller and smaller each time.”
Eraser, “That’s true, but I don’t 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’ll be gone… I’m actually happy with my job… So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.”
Our Parents are like the eraser, where as we children are the pencil. They’re always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way they get hurt and become smaller (older and eventually pass on)
Take care of your parents! Treat them with kindness but most importantly love them.
