One afternoon, an old man took his cell phone to a repair shop. Frustrated (沮丧的), he walked up to the technician (技术员) and said, “I have only had this phone for a few months and it already does not receive calls. If you can't fix it, I would like to buy a new one.”
After checking the phone, the technician came back with good news. “Your phone works fine, sir. I tested it several times. It sends and receives calls perfectly. You have nothing to worry about. Is there anything else I can help you with?”
Shocked and confused (迷惑的), the old man began to cry. With tears in his eyes, he quietly replied, “Are you sure? Then why aren't my children calling me? It has already been a few months since I got this phone.”
The technician was speechless. The old man looked up and asked, “Do you call your parents?” Again, the technician didn't know what to say.
After listening to the old man, the technician began to feel sorry. With long working hours and the responsibilities (责任) of raising a family, he did not call his parents as often as he should. ▲
“Well, then, you can help me with one thing,” said the old man. “Call your parents! Please. Don't get so busy that they think you have forgotten them.” Then, he walked out of the store with his head hanging.
