 While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 year old son
picked a stone and scratched lines on the side of a car. In
anger the man took the child's hand and hit many times, not
realizing he is using a wrench. At the hospital, the child lost
his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his
father, with painful eyes he asked "Dad when will my fingers
grow back?". The man was so hurt and speechless.
He went back to the car and kicked it many times,
devastated by his own actions. Sitting in front of the car and
look at the scratches, his child written "I LOVE YOU DAD"
