There was a boy who asked his mother, “Mom, my friend told me that his mother always let his own hand to bitten by a mosquito until filled with blood so the mosquito will not bite my friends’ hand. Would you do the same like his mom?” The mother laughed and answers frankly, “No. But I will repel the mosquito all night so it did not bite you and our family.” Hearing the answer, the boy smiled and went back to playing activities.

Not long after, the boy turned back to his mother. It turned out that he suddenly remembered something. “Mom, I’ve heard a tory that there was a mother who would not eat so her children can eat well. It she was you, what are you going to do?” the boy asked the almost same question. This time his mother replied with more assertive voice, “I will work hard so that we can all eat and were filled. So, you don’t have to be difficult to swallow because I saw your mother starve”.

The boy smile and then embrace her lovingly, “Thanks, Mom. I can always rely on you”. She rubbed her son’s hair and replied, “No, son! But I will educate you to be able to stand firmly on your own feet, so you will not fall down when I’m no longer on your side. Because I’m not going to always on your side.”
