Stealing is a bad habit

Today all of a sudden I remember a short story which is as under;-
Once upon a time there lived a lady in a small town .She had a son who was very naughty and he got a habit of stealing things and he used to deposit the stolen money with his mother .She once asked his son that where from he used to get all the money ? The son replied that he got all the money from business and those money was his profit from business.The habit of stealing went on increasing and once he committed murder when the owner of the house woke up and tried to resist his efforts .The police caught him and he was sentenced to death by the judge.As he was being brought to gallows and the judge asked him about his last wish .He replied that he wanted to talk to his mother in her ears for a second.The judge allowed him that he could talk to his mother so that his last wish was fulfilled as allowed under law. So his mother was summoned and she lent her ear towards the mouth of his son .As soon as her ear was near his sons mouth he furiously bit the ear of his mother. The judge asked him why did he bit her ear and what was her fault?.At that
moment the thief son replied that all the blame was of his mother because she did not tell him that stealing things was a bad habit .Had she told him when he did the first theft then in that case he would had not been on the gallows and begging for life .He further told to the judge that she used to be happy when he brought the daily the ill gotten wealth and rather she used to encourage him .He prayed to the judge that she should also be punished along with him for not guiding him so that he would become a good citizen.
In a nut shell it is the duty of all parents to inculcate good habits in to the minds of their wards so that they can become good citizens of the nation.and that the nation may be proud of them.
