The gallows
"There was a very wealthy man, had large estates, cars, several employees and money. He had an only son who unlike his father, not like work or appointments.
What he liked most was having parties and being with their friends . Her father always warned, saying that only those friends were at his bedside while he had what they offer, and then desert him. The son could not care less attention to the advice of his father.
One day the old man, already advanced in age told its employees to build a small barn and inside, made a noose and next to her with a plaque that reads: "For you never despise the words of his father."
Later called the son and took him to the barn and said:
- My son, I am old and soon you'll take all that is mine, and I know what its future. You'll leave the farm in the hands of employees and will spend all the money with his friends, will sell animals and goods to sustain itself and when you have more money, your friends will be away from you. And when you have nothing else, will bitterly regret not having given me ears. That's why I built this force, yes, it is for you, I want you to promise me that if it happens what I said, you'll hang it.
The young laughed, thought absurd, but not thwart his father and vowed never thought would happen.
As time passed, his father died and his son took care of everything, but as soon as he had predicted, the young spend everything, sold the property, lost friends and their dignity***. Desperate and grieving began to reflect on his life and saw what had been a fool, he remembered his father and began to cry and say:
- Ah, my father, if I had heard your advice, would not be in this situation. But now it's too late!
Sorry, the young man looked up and spied out the little barn, was the only thing left to him, with slow steps he went up there and saw the gallows and getting dusty board and said:
- I never followed the words of my father, I could not cheer him when he was alive, but at least this time I do his will, I will keep my promise, I am left with nothing.
And he went up the stairs and placed the rope around his neck and said:
- Ah, if I had another chance.
And then leaped for a moment felt the rope tighten your throat. But the arm strength was hollow and easily broken, the boy fell down and fell upon him jewels, emeralds, diamonds, gold, the gallows was full of precious stones and a note that said:
- THIS IS YOUR NEW CHANCE, I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. YOUR FATHER! "
