There was a happy family. The family lived with great love that the father passed away untimely. Left behind were the mother and her only son. It was the father’s heartfelt wish that his son should become a doctor, after the death of the father, the child’s all responsibility had come to the mother. She would often remember her husband’s wish. She decided that I would make the child a doctor to fulfill her husband’s wish. To make her son’s future, she would go to work at people’s homes, and with the income that would have been earned, she would teach the child.
She sold all the jewelry and even the house and came to live in a hut and anyhow made it possible and made the son a doctor.
As time passed, the son was also married to a doctor. Then the process of imbalance between the old and the new generation started.
She did not like the lifestyle of the daughter-in-law and often used to ask her daughter-in-law to cover her head. The daughter-in-law does not like this interruption.
She came and told her husband one day that now I will not live in this house under any condition. The son tried to explain to his wife to think about the many sacrifices my mother has made to make me a doctor
And bowing to the pressure of the wife, the mother was taken to the old age ashram.

The old lady started living in an old age home. five hundred every month. The money kept coming. If the son would come to meet once in six months, sometimes the daughter-in-law would go there out of greed.

One day the operator of the old age home made a call to the son, Doctor sir, your mother is in a critical condition. You need to be here immediately.
Come on, your mother wants to meet you before she leaves this world. The son said I have some patients, I will come after dealing with them.
The daughter of the same mother lived in America. On receiving the information, she reached the old age home the next day. The son arrived the next day; He was shocked to see his sister standing there. He asked, “where is mother?” Everyone’s faces were pitiful that the mother was no more. He asked the operator, “Did my mother remember me before she breathed her last?” The operator said “this was the last wish of the mother before she died; To Look at her son’s face, but despite repeated calls, you have not come. Your mother gave you these envelopes for you before leaving.
He saw that one envelope was thin and the other thick. He took the envelope and opened the first thin one, in which it was written – My dear son, finally you have come, I believe that you will definitely come. I have no problem in an old age home. And there was no need to spend a single penny.
You are my very dear son. The five hundred rupees that you sent every month, those fifteen thousand rupees have been kept in another envelope. Son.. as I am old – huh, one day you too will become old. You may also have to stay in this old age home one day. I don’t know. At that time will your son be able to send you five hundred rupees or not? Money will be needed at that time. I am leaving these fifteen thousand rupees for you for that time.
