Learn from children

This evening, the men in the neighborhood called each other to sit and drink tea at Thanh's house and chat as usual. Thanh poured tea and happily said:

- Don't laugh when I say this, but kids these days are really scary. There are things we have to learn from them!

- No way! I'm their father! If I don't teach them, then I'll teach them. What a mess! - Nam said with a laugh.

Mr. Hai also joined in:

- Yes, yes. You really know how to joke.

- I'm not joking. I'm being serious. Today, my son Dat taught me a lesson - Thanh said gently.

Mr. Thanh immediately told the story this morning: Normally, his wife was in charge of taking the children to school, but today the office had some work to do, so she had to go to work earlier than usual, so she assigned him the task of taking the children to school. On the way to take Dat to school, the father and son talked about many things very happily. When they arrived at the school gate, Mr. Thanh saw the gate wide open, a few motorbikes carrying students were going straight into the school yard in front, he also ran behind. Suddenly Dat shouted: "Stop, Dad!". Mr. Thanh quickly stopped the motorbike, turned to look at his son and asked:

- What's wrong? Is something wrong?

Cu Dat shook his head and was about to get off the saddle. Thanh saw that and said:

- Sit still, I will take you to the classroom door.

- No dad! Let me down here.

- Why not? I saw those people take you to class!

Cu Dat got off the saddle, took off his helmet and gave it to his father, saying:

- They did wrong, Dad. Don't make the same mistake as them. Look, Dad, there's a beautiful sign at our school gate!

At this moment, Mr. Thanh noticed the sign that read “Traffic safety school gate”. He smiled awkwardly:

- Dad didn't pay attention so he didn't see...

- Yes, because today I just took you to school. Remember to stop the car here, park it neatly on both sides of the road at the school gate according to the safety lines and then turn around. When I pick you up, I also wait here to ensure traffic safety!

Cu Dat loudly instructed his father. Thanh felt very happy when he heard his son speak. Today, his son, who is in 4th grade, taught him about traffic safety and civilized traffic at the school gate.

- There, you see. Aren't there things we should learn from children? - Mr. Thanh said.
