The story:
Humayun was the eldest son of the great Moghal Emperor Babar. Once he was taken
very seriously ill. The court physicians tread him with care and attention. But
the more they tried to restore his health, the worse he became.
At last the anxious father called a
meeting of his best friends in order to seek their counsel. They advised him to
sacrifice his dearest possession for the sake of his son. They referred to the
koh-i-Noor diamond. But he said that his own life was more precious than that.
So he went thrice round the patient’s bed praying that he might fall ill in
place of his son. And ho! His prayer was granted by God. The emperor Babar fell
ill, and Humayun began to feel better day by day. At last the son recovered
fully, and his loving father passed away.
Moral: No
sacrifice is too great for a son.
