Dad Shows His Son The Value Of Hard Work In The Best Possible Way

Most parents will agree on the fact that kids need chores.

As much as children might loathe doing them, they're crucial in teaching young people a sense of responsibility and grooms them for a future as good, caring and helpful adults.

While some kids have trouble staying on task, there are special ones who will gladly take up chores around the house without complaining.

Kolt Kyler is one of the kids who is always ready to lend a helping hand. When he isn't in school, the 9-year-old can be found helping his parents on with the family farm.  

"Kolt has been helping his dad on their farm for a couple years with their cows, but recently Kolt got two pigs to show for 4H (a youth development and mentoring organization) for the first time so he's had to work extra hard!," his sister Hannah Himes wrote in an email to ABC.

"He also made the travel baseball team again this year so he's been busy with regular season, travel team, farm chores, cub scouts, and he is also an honor roll student!" she added.

Kolt's hard work hadn't gone unnoticed. His parents decided to reward him in a big way and he definitely did not see it coming.

Kolt was wrapping up the day's work when his father, Andy, interrupted him with a short speech about his work ethic.

"You never once complained. You work hard," Andy said in a video Hannah posted on Twitter.

Andy then asked his son to do another task. "This is something here that you and I are going to do, and it's going to take a whole day to do it. Do you wanna do it?" he asked.

Kolt immediately agreed and was handed an envelope by his father. He started to cry when he realized what was inside - a pair of tickets to a Chicago Cubs game.

Hannah caught the sweet moment on camera and shared it with the world via Twitter. The video went viral shortly after and people couldn't help but notice Kolt's genuine gratefulness.

"And his thankfulness wasn't a surprise. He is always grateful for gifts, trips for ice cream, anything," said his sister.

Watch the video to see Kolt's touching reaction when he found out he'll be stepping foot on Wrigley Field for the first time ever.

Kolt's day got even better after Chicago Cub player Kris Bryant tweeted a message to him.

This is surely something the youngster won't soon forget. Hardwork really does pay off!
