8 Pencil & Eraser
Pencil: I’m sorry
Eraser: For what? You didn’t do anything wrong
Trang 9Pencil: I’m sorry because you get hurt because of me Whenever I made a mistake, you’re always there
to erase it But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself You get smaller and smaller each time
Eraser: That’s true But I don’t really mind You see, I was made to do this I was made to help you whenever you make a mistake Even though one day, I know I’ll be gone and you’ll replace me with a new one, I’m actually happy with my job So please, stop worrying I hate seeing you sad
I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil They’re always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become older, and eventually pass away Though their children will eventually find someone new like a spouse, parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious children worrying, or being sad All my life, I’ve been the pencil and it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day For I know that one day, all that I’m I’ll be left with would be eraser crumbs and memories of what I used to have
“We never know how much our parents love us till we have become parents ourselves.”

He then addressed them in these words, “My sons, if you are of one mind and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies But if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
In Union there is strength Divided we fall United we stand
