Once a father and son were traveling by waterway, and both lost their way. Then his boat also took him to a place where two islands were nearby and then his boat broke down after reaching there. The father said to the son, now it seems that the last time has come for both of us. There is no support in sight far and wide.
Suddenly he thought of a solution, told his son that anyway our last time is near, so why not pray to God. They divided both the islands among themselves. The father on one and the son on the other, and both started praying to different Gods.
The son said to God: O God, let trees and plants grow on this island, with whose fruits and flowers we can satisfy our hunger. The prayer was heard, immediately trees and plants grew and fruits and flowers also came in it.
He said that this is a miracle. Then he prayed, a beautiful woman should come so that we can stay here with her and settle our family. Immediately a beautiful woman appeared.
Now he thought that my every prayer is being heard, so why don't we ask God for a way out of here? He did exactly the same. He prayed, bring a new boat in which we can get out of here. Immediately the boat appeared, and the son boarded it and started out.
Only then there was an Akashvani, son, you are going alone? Won't you take your father with you?
So the son said, leave them, they prayed too, but you didn't listen to them. Maybe their mind is not pure, so let them suffer the consequences, right?
The sky says: Son, do you know what your father prayed?
Son said: No.
So listen: Your father prayed only one prayer, O Lord! Give whatever my son asks of you.
