Unwise investment

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door Son: "Daddy, may I ask you a question" Daddy: "Yeah sure, what it is?" Son: "Dad, how much do you make an hour"? Daddy: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" that man said angrily. Son: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" Daddy: "I make Rs. 500 an hour" "Oh", the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, "Dad, may I please borrow Rs. 300?"

Officials were shocked. Clapping of thousands of spectators filled the stadium. Many eyes were filled with tears and perhaps it had reached the YES. This happened in Hyderabad [INDIA], recently!
