After having a lot of success in his career a young man felt an urge to repay
back to his mother for all that she had done for him.
So he asked her, “Mom, what can I give you? What can I do for you?
I sincerely want to repay you for all the sacrifices you have made for
me and for all the love you have showered upon me.”
Mother looked surprised and said, “Why do you think about it.
It was my duty so I did it, you don’t have to repay me.
Even if you want to, there is no way a man can ever repay his mother.”
Despite her continuous refusal to ask for anything,he continued to persist.
To put an end to thediscussion, she said, “All right. If you must, then
tonight you sleep on my bed, with me, just as you
used to when you were a baby.”
He said, “That’s a strange thing to ask for, but if it pleases you, I will.”
As soon as he fell asleep, the mother got up and
brought a bucket of water. She poured a mug full
of water on his side. Feeling disturbed by the
wetness under him, in his sleep he moved away to
the other side of the bed. As he settled down, his
mother poured another mug of water on the other side.
In his slumber he tried to find space towards the foot post of the bed.
Sometime later he woke up feeling that this part of the bed too was damp.
He got up and saw his mother, with the mug in her hand.
He asked
angrily, “What are you doing mother? Why don’t you let me sleep?
How do you expect me to sleep on a wet bed?”
Mother said, “I slept with you, when you wetted the bed in the night.
I changed your clothes and
moved you to the dry part of the bed, while I slept
on the wet side. You wanted to repay me. Can you
sleep here even for one night with me on a damp
bed? If you can, I’ll take it that you have repaid me.”
Moral: Of all the debts in the world, the one that can never
be repaid is the one you owe to your mother. You can never repay the love,
care and time your mother gave to bring you up. You are a part of her flesh
and blood; don’t forget this, because she never ever forgets it.
