Once there was a man who had three daughters and was a single parent to his children. One morning he asked his eldest daughter, Sonya, to wash the breakfast dishes before going to school. But she was already running late, so she burst into tears. The father decided that she was just trying to get out of an unpleasant chore, and he demanded that she dry her tears and get back to work immediately. She silently obeyed him, but that day they were driving to school in silence. The man dropped his daughters and moved to the office. He tried to work but couldn’t concentrate — all he could see was his daughter’s scared, tear-stained face as she climbed out of the car. So he decided to say sorry to his daughter. He took permission from the school to take his daughter for lunch. When she came out, he turned towards his daughter and said, «Sonya, I am sorry. It’s not that I shouldn’t have asked you to help out at home, but I had no right to it this morning without any previous warning. I upset you at a time when you most needed my love and support. And I let you go without saying «I love you. Please forgive me.» Sonya put her arms around her father’s neck and said, «Oh, Dad, of course I forgive you. I love you too.»

The man in the story had no wife.
