1 fine evening before my 2 sons go to bed; we sat down for a chat.
.
We talked about how 3 of us going to face the big, big world in the near future as I am getting old and if they don't grow up quickly, I am not sure how they're going to survive without me. I can’t be with them 4 ever.
.
My elder son said:"Don't worry mummy, we'll be 5."
.
But then I told him, "We need to eat, place to stay, household utilities, education........., and how if one of us get 6, we need money to see a doctor."
.
My son: "Mummy, you have a total of 7 brothers and sisters; don't tell me none of them could help us?"
.
"Yes, may be they could, but we can’t depend on others, we must do our own growing. Have you heard of a saying: Don't help by giving a fish everyday but instead teach them how to fish?"
.
My younger son, too small to understand:" Mummy, if they think fish is too expensive to give, they can give us 8. I can eat that everyday with rice, bread or just plain."
.
"That’s good idea, darling, you're very smart. Good 9."
.
Went back to my room. 10 god for being so kind to me.

ZZZZzzzzzzz.
