MUCH BETTER THAN SON

There is an old story about a village, a water spring and a man. The water of the spring was used by whole village for drinking and a man in the village had a strange habit of spitting in the spring everyday without fail. All villagers tried everything possible to stop the man from spitting but failed. The villagers ultimately took it in their stride and lost all hopes to drink 'un-spat' water. Years passed by and a day came when the man died. People of the village were happy at the death of the man and were congratulating each other. But their joy lasted only for a single night and the next day they discovered that the son of the deceased had started urinating in the spring. Everyone in the village started mourning the death of the man and each one was heard saying that the deceased was much better than his son.
