A boy is doing poorly in school and is at risk of failing.
The father see's the boys report card and tells him "Son, if you can get your grades up to an A+ then I will buy you anything that you want."
The boy accepted his challange and brought his grades up.
At the end of the school year the dad honors is promise and asked the boy what he wanted. "A bag of golf balls" the boy said.
The dad wondered why he wanted golf balls but went to go by them anyways.
The next year came and the boy kept up his end of the bargain.
Again the boy asked for golf balls.
The same thing went on for about 7 more years untill the boy turned 18.
The dad takes the boy out for a nice dinner to celebrate graduating from highschool with straight A's.
The father tells the boy "How about this, instead of buying you bags of golf balls I'm going to buy you a new car."
The boy insist upon golf balls and the father insist upon a new car.
"You've been asking for golf balls the past 7 years. Ask for something different."
The boy gets angry and walks out of the resteruant and heads to the car when a truck sped by and hit the boy.
The father rushes out of the resturant and hold the boy in his arms and tells him he loves him dearly and says he is sorry for what he had said.
"I have just one question, son" said the father. What did you want with all those golf balls?
The boy opens his mouth and dies.
