Father and his six-year old daughter had gone for a walk when they spotted the Giant Wheel.
"Please take me for a ride on that!", she begged her father.
"That's costly. You need to work hard and earn a ride," he answered.
She took his words to heart...
Three decades later, the father-daughter duo stood in front of the newest amusement park in the country.
As the father was the chief-guest, he inaugurated the park.
With great pride, he blessed the owner of the park - his daughter!
"Please take me for a ride on the Ferris Wheel!" he told her.
Do you dream big? Do you accept challenges and set goals?

A small nudge onto a large path of very big dreams. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun career choice!
ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteShe did take it to heart, didn't she? Although I think the father could've taken his 6 year old on a ride without a life lesson. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

ReplyDeleteWhy is it tagged as fiction? Is it a true story or just a work of imagination?
