Illiterate Mother
A boy from a middle class family scored 90% marks in the 10th class examination.
The father happily saw the mark sheet and told his wife to make sweet porridge, your darling has scored 90% marks in the school examination!
The mother came running from the kitchen and said:- *Tell me too, I will see!*
Meanwhile the boy said quickly:- Baba where are you showing her the result? Can she study? She is illiterate!
The mother went to make porridge asking Pallu with tearful eyes. My father immediately noticed this and then he added to the boy's words and said yes! That is also true! When we got married, your mother became pregnant within three months. I thought, we did not go anywhere after marriage, we have not even understood each other properly, let's get an abortion this time and take a chance later. But your mother insisted and said:- No, there is no chance later, we will be able to roam around and understand each other later, then you were born. *She was illiterate, right.....*
When you were in the womb, she did not like milk at all, she drank milk every day for nine months to make you healthy, *because she was illiterate, right.....*
You had to go to school at seven in the morning, so she used to wake up at five in the morning and make your favorite breakfast and tiffin, *because she was illiterate, right...*
When you used to fall asleep while studying at night, she used to come and put your notebooks and books in her bag, then cover your body with a blanket and only then would you sleep, *because she was illiterate, right.....*
You used to remain ill most of the time in your childhood. Then she used to wake up early in the morning after staying awake the whole night and start working in the morning, *because she was illiterate, right…*
She used to pester me to get you branded clothes and she herself used to wear the same saree for years, *because she was illiterate, right…*
Son, educated people first look at their own interests and selfishness, but your mother has never looked at it till date, *because she is illiterate, right…*
After cooking and serving us, she used to forget to eat sometimes, that is why I proudly say that *'your mother is illiterate…*
Hearing all this, the boy, crying, hugs his mother and says:- Mom, I have got only 90% marks on paper. But you are the first teacher who has made my life 100%. Mom, I have got 90% marks today, yet I am illiterate and you have a higher degree than PhD. Because today I have seen the doctor, teacher, lawyer, dress designer, best cook, all of them hidden inside my mother!
*👉Education*
Every boy and girl who disrespects their parents, insults them, gets angry for small reasons, they should think about the hardships their parents have suffered for them.
