Howard ka beta sheer-khwari ke daur mein dimaghi chot ka shikar ho gaya tha. Howard is baat par pukhta yaqeen nahin rakhta tha ke us ka beta baaton ko kitna samajh sakta hai. Apne bete ki dimaghi nash-o-numa mein is rukawat ke bawajood, woh us se Khudawand ki raahon ke baare mein guftagu karta raha. Saare teen saal ki umr tak woh bacha abhi tak bolne ke laiq nahin hua tha. Walidain musalsal us se Khuda ki baatein karte, us ke saath dua maangte aur Baibli tareeqon se us ki galla-bani karne ki mukhlisana koshish karte rahe. Ek din us bachay ko islaah aur tadeeb ki zaroorat pesh aayi. Howard intehai uljhan ka shikar hua jab us ne bachay ko kuch samjhaane ki koshish ki, kyunke woh nahin jaanta tha ke us ka beta kitna idraak kar sakta hai. Jaise jaise guftagu ke is amal mein us ki jhunjhlaahat barhti gayi, us ke bete ne mudakhlat ki. Woh bol para! Us ke pehle alfaaz yeh thay: "Papa, dua maangein!" Dimaghi chot se mutasir is nanhe bachay ne is poore arsay mein intehai qeemti asbaaq seekhe thay. Woh Khuda par apne walid ke sachche imaan se waqif tha. Woh jaanta tha ke jab insaan kisi museebat mein ho to use Khuda hi ki taraf ruju karna chahiye. Woh jaanta tha ke Khudawand us ke Papa ki baat cheet mein madad farma sakta hai. Zindagi ke in ibtidai barson ki ahmiyat ke liye yeh kaisi shandaar misaal hai!
