Passage - Respecting the parents

Translate the following passage in hindi language.
Respecting the parents
 An old father asked a question to his son “What is that bird?” The son replied “That is a Crow.” Again his father asked the same question. The son said with some irritation, “That is a Crow, That is a crow.
    After some time, the old father again asked his son “What is that bird?” This time the son almost shouted at his father, “Why are you asking a silly question again and again?” Although I have replied you three times that “That is a Crow. Can’t you understand or listen this?”
    His father smiled but didn’t tell him anything more and a while he went inside his room. He came back with an old tattered diary which he used to write since his son was born. He opened  a page and told his son to read that page.
    His son read in the diary his father had written :“Today my young son aged ninenteen was sitting with me in the garden. Suddenly he saw a cuckoo. It was on a mango tree. My son asked me twelfth times what it was. I replied and replied him all the times that it was a cuckoo. I hugged him with great affection whenever he asked the same question.”His son hung his head in shame.
    So, if your parents attain old age, don’t rebuff them. Don’t look upon them as a burden. Always speak to them gently, be obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents. Remember you are also going to be a parent after a little time in futere.
