Papa...what would you want me grow up to be?

I recall a TV series which I once saw, a particular scene caught my attention and the dialogue between the father and daugther left a deep impression in me. The father was an uneducated farmer who tolls hard from dawn till dusk to make ends meet for the family, the girl was an independent and jovial high school girl. Since the family was not well off and her mother died at her birth, she has to help in the farm work and house chores besides school work. Though young at age, she was deprieved of the previleges of most teenage girls, there was never time for oversleep, day dreaming, girls' talks or dressing up. With an average outlook, bother-line school results and constant smell of 'field fertilizers', her bright and jovial heart was never disheartened by school mates' mockery and unfriendly glare. That particular scene goes like this:
After school dismissal, the girl went to the field at sunset and wanted to walk with her father back home. They were walking towards the sunset across a vast grassland while the girl asked, "Papa, today our teacher at school wanted us to fill in our ambitions. I am not sure what to fill in. Papa, what do you wish me to become in the future? " The farmer thought for a while and replied in a serious tone, "I wish you to become a good pail of cow dungs..." Immediatedly the girl opposed to the silly suggestion made by her dad but he explained in a calm and caring manner, "My child, there is no shame in being something that people do not look up to. A pail of cow shit may be regarded as wothless and disgusting to others but it has great value to the ecology. Without these cheap cost of fertilizers, we will not have fresh and well grown vegetables for mankind to enjoy. I may not express myself well but my dear daughter, papa wants you to be a useful person in the future. Whether your future is glamourous or otherwise, it ain't important to me because as long as you can bring sunshine and goodness to people around you, I will be proud of you. Only when you learn to give you will enjoy the happiness behind it." At this point, the enlightened teenage girl exclaimed happily, "Alright papa! I want to become shit!"Both giggled and chat the rest of their way home.
