NoodleS From a Stranger
That night, Sue had a quarrel with her mum and without bringing anything
with her, she ran out of the house. While she's walking on the street, she
discovered that she doesn't have any money on her, not even a cent to make
a phone call. As she was walking along the street, she spot a noodle
stall, it smell so nice, how she long for a bowl. But, she has no money.
After awhile, the boss seeing Sue standing in front of his stall for quite
a long time, asked: 'Hey Miss, do you want a bowl of noodle?''But...but...I
didn't bring any money with me...' she answered shyly.'It's alright, I'll
give you a treat.' The boss said, 'Come have a seat, I'll cook you a bowl
of noodle.' Not long after, the owner served Sue with a bowl of noodle and
a plate of vegetables. Sue ate a few mouthfuls and she starts to tear.
'What happen, Miss?' the owner asked. 'Nothing, I'm just touched!' Sue said
while drying her tears. 'Even a stranger I met on the street would offer to
cook a bowl of noodle and treat!
But...my own mother, after a quarrel chase me out of the house and asking
me not to go back again. You as a complete stranger could show me care and
concern while my own mother...she's so cruel.' She said to the owner. The
boss after hearing what Sue had said, replied with a sigh: 'Miss, how can
you think that way? Ponder over this, I just cook a bowl of noodle for you
and you are so touch. Your mother had been cooking noodles and rice for you
since you are young till now, why aren't you grateful to her? And you even
quarrel with her?' Sue was stunned upon hearing that.
'Why didn't I think of that? A bowl of noodle from a stranger and I'm so
grateful but yet my own mother had been cooking for me for so many years
and I'm not even show the least concern about her.'..... And because of a
trivial matter, I quarrelled with her. She finishes her noodle swiftly and
braces herself up and march towards the direction of home. As she's walking
home, she thought to herself how she wants to tell her mum right
now...'Mum, I'm sorry, I know I'm at fault, please forgive me.' Once she
reach the doorstep, she saw her tired and anxious mother, searching
everywhere for...her; when she spot Sue, the first sentence which came out
of her mouth is: 'Sue, come into the house quickly, I've the dinner ready
and it'll be cold if you are not eating it now.'Right at that moment, Sue
was unable to hold her tears anymore and she started weeping in front of
her mum. At times, we may be very grateful to others people around us for
little gesture they showed us, but to our close ones, especially our
parents, it's a lifetime of gratefulness we have to remember.Absolutely
Right! We should never forget what our parents have done for us
but often we treat that as a natural process for them to sacrifice for us.
However, parent's love and care are the most valuable gift given to us
since we were born. They don't expect any repayment from us for raising us
but think about it...Did we treasure this unconditional sacrifice from our parents?
