That night, Sue quarreled with her mother, then stormed out of the
house. While enroute, she remembered that she did not have any money in
her pocket, she did not even have enough coins to make a phone call
home.
At the same time, she went through a noodle shop, picking up
sweet fragrance, she suddenly felt very hungry. She wished for a bowl
of noodles, but she had no money!
The seller saw her standing wheat faltered before the counter and asked:
- Hey little girl, you want to eat a bowl?
- But … but I do not carry money … she shyly replied.
- Okay, I’ll treat you – the seller said – come in, I will cook you a bowl.
A few minutes later the owner brought her a steaming bowl of noodles. Ate some pieces, Sue cried.
- What is it? – He asked.
- Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness! – Sue said as she wiped her tears.
- Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel!!
The seller sighed:
-
Girl, why did you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of
noodles and you felt that way. Your mother had raised you since you were
little, why were you not grateful and disobeyed your mom?
Sue was really surprised after hearing that.
“Why
did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel
indebted, and my mother has raised me since I was little and I have
never felt so, even a little.”
On the way home, Sue thought in her
head what she would say to her mother when she arrives home: “Mom, I’m
sorry. I know it is my fault, please forgive me … ”
Once up the
steps, Sue saw her mother worried and tired of looking for her
everywhere. Upon seeing Sue, her mother gently said: “Sue, come inside
honey. You are probably very hungry? I cooked rice and prepared the meal
already, come eat while it is still hot …”
Can not control any longer, Sue cried in her mom’s hands.
In
life, we sometimes easy to appreciate the small actions of some people
around us, but for the relatives, especially parents, we see their
sacrifices as a matter of natural …
Parental love and concern are the most precious gifts we have been given since birth.
Parents
do not expect us to pay back for nurturing us …… but have we ever
appreciated or treasure the unconditional sacrifice of our parents?
