That night, Sue
quarreled with her mother, and then stormed out of the house. En route, 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 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. Sue cried as she ate some pieces
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 has 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 …” Unable to 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?
