- Son . I think you have something to tell me. The son did not set and remained standing far from his Dad. The father said in quite tune.

- You may set. A minute or two both Dad and son are quite. Then the son began to talk.

In that night the young man as usual on Saturday night left home before evening to join his schoolmates. They all were Americans, and Christians. The son was a Muslim. That night they all went to a house of one of the schoolmates. In their way, some of them bought few drinks, bottles of bear.

- It was a challenge for me , Dad. I did not want to get drunk. But ……… you know one of my friends said: how do you know that alcohol is harmful? Have you taste it by yourself?  .

The son continues his story,  in a moment of weakness, and challenge, I taste it, and taste it, and taste it. The son looked at his father and said:

- Dad. It was not my intention to break the rules of our culture. Just it happened. Just like that.

Dad was heartedly listening to his son. A moment was to mange the situation. It was the father expertise as a graduate student in administration and conflict management. He took a decision. The son was expecting something, but he waited. Dad after a while, said:

- Son. Go to sleep. Son! Tomorrow  we will talk. 

Now after fifteen years, followed that night, the son learn a great lesson of tolerance from his Dad. He still remember how his Dad understood and how he was gentle in his response.
