The late Tok Ayah

   I've never met my dad's father. I've never seen his face in real, all i've ever seen was an old photo of him and that happened to be  years ago.

And I dont even remember how he looked like.


But as far as I know is that my grandfather was a very wise man. It had been proven when I found a huge cupboard of old  Reader's Digest in his old house.

 And still we cant judge people simply by that. That is why abah told me a story about him.


   It was about 40 years ago and abah was preparing himself for hir first day of Standard 1 the next day. His mom, or my grandmother, was buzy packing things for his first day in school.

 While abah and grandmother were busy packing things, tok ayah (grandfather) called abah and asked him to sit beside him.
   He gave abah a line, "please teacher may I go to toilet." , and asked abah to memorize it immediately that night. Abah just did it without knowing why.


   Apparently the next day, abah was the only kid in his class that didn't pee or poop in class. So...looks like tok ayah knew what was more important.
Cool isn't it ?
