A son took his old mother to a restaurant
for an evening
dinner. Mother being very old and weak,
while
eating, dropped food on her skirt. Other
dinners
watched her in
disgust while her son was calm. After she
finished
eating, her son who was not at all
embarrassed,
quietly took her to the wash room, wiped the
food
particles, removed the stains, combed
her hair
and fitted her
spectacles firmly. When they came out, the entire
restaurant was watching them in silence,
not able
to
grasp how someone could embarrass
themselves publicly like that. The son settled the bill
and
started
walking out with his mother. At that time,
an old
man amongst the dinners called out to the son
and asked him,
“Don’t you think you have left something
behind?”.
The son replied, “No sir, I haven’t”.
The old man retorted, “Yes, you have! You left a
lesson for every child and hope for every
mother”.
The restaurant went silent.May God bless every mother out their. Their labour shall never be in vain....
