No Lunch is free

My Age: 34, Son's Age: 6.9 years

One night (We were in bed and it was his story time) my son asked me to travel by aeroplane. Here is the conversation.

Son: Hey Dad, Why don't we go somewhere by aeroplane?

Me: Don't worry I will take you some day.

Son: Have you travelled by Plane earlier?

Me: Yes

Son: Why didn't you take me with you?

Me: You were a little kid at that time 2.5 years old. (Now He is 6.9 years old)

Son: Okay, But where will we stay in another city? We don't have our own Flat there?

Me: It is not a problem. We will take a room in a Hotel.

Son: But food and other things?

Me: We will have food and other things in the Hotel.

Son: Will they provide these things for free?

************** Here comes the point ****************

Me: Son, Listen to this thing carefully and keep it in mind always. There is no free lunch on this planet. If anyone other than your family member provides you something free, Be careful.

Son: But why? When we go to a shop to buy some hair oil we get some bath soap for free.

Me: I laughed, I said but we paid for hair oil and the soap price was included in that.

Son: Oh is that so? Okay. I will not take anything from strangers.

But I know he will come up with some other point regarding this and will ask me again. I am waiting for that too...
