Which is Better?

I received a mail, a forwarded one, it really made me thinking….that’s why wants to share it with you all… Dad used to give us Rs. 20/- per month, in that we were not only able to eat stomachs fill, but we were able to save too!!!

Now who knows/cares about home; all we do is just work!!! Which's better, the former or the latter
