After endless tiredless struggle of the great widow making ends meet raising her little four children, she finally can see them growing into great successful people of the society.
One day this mother who had been living many countless years of suffering and pain struggling for the survival of her four children, was laid sick in bed. Her children who had grown wealthy did not forget nor forsake their mother.
They never missed any single day bringing her her most favorite food, fishhead. After several consecutive days eating only fishhead, the mother asked her children, "Why everytime it is always fishhead??" "Mom, this have always been your favorite dish,isnt it?"
Reminded of the bitter past, her tears started to drop, "Stupid children! In matter of fact, actually i never ever liked the fishheads i have been eating all these years. When our condition was very difficult back at that time, all of you enjoyed eating fish meat very much, so if i also eat the meat, you children would not be able to eat more of it. Therefore i pretended that i loved eating fishhead. Not that i did not like eating fish meat, but just that i cant help but not to eat it!"
Listening to their mother's secret confession, all of the children kneeled before their holy noble mother. They had just realized even more how noble the heart of their mother is.
It is natural, when you have others you love, to want only the best for them
