Rishi was a 10 years old boy. Just like any other boy of his age, he had the usual tantrums with his mother. Sometimes he obeyed what she said and what his father said, and sometimes he would completely ignore them. Since this was very common in kids, Rishi’s mom did not worry a lot.
It was an unexpected holiday announced by the school of Rishi and he had 5 holidays. He spent a good time with his mother. She took him for outings, they went to beach and amusement parks, had delicious dining, she cooked his favourite foods and played with him. Three days were left and Rishi’s mother wanted to clean the house and she wanted to involve Rishi in cleaning.
She asked him to help her and as a surprise, he also accepted.
Everything was done to perfection. Rishi’s mummy was surprised with his act. While she was cooking the dinner meal, Rishi gave her a piece of paper, written by him. Since his mom was busy cooking, she asked him to place the paper on the dining table.
After cooking the meals, she took the paper left by his son and was shocked to see what he wrote!
The piece of paper contained this list:
For cutting grass in the garden – Rs. 300
For Cleaning my Room – Rs. 250
For helping you in the kitchen – Rs. 200
For buying milk and fruits for you – Rs. 50
For taking care of my sister when you were shopping – Rs. 250
For removing the garbage – Rs. 100
Total you owe - Rs. 1150 /-
She was literally shocked!
She didn’t speak a word and wrote in a paper and gave it to her son.
She wrote:
For carrying you nine months – No Charge
For getting severely sick when you were growing inside me – No Charge
For sleepless nights taking care of you for several months – No Charge
For soothing you without getting annoyed whenever you troubled – No Charge
For heartfelt prayers and passing through those dreadful days when you met with an accident when you were 3 years – No Charge
Innumerable days spent without calmness and peace of mind thinking about your present and future – No Charge
For taking care of you like a precious gift I never had in my life – No Charge
You Owe: -------------------------------
The boy was in tears and rushed to his mom and gave a tight hug that he had never done before.
Rishi, unable to look at her, told, ‘Mom I love you! I’m sorry for everything!’
She kissed on his forehead. Rishi crushed the paper he wrote and threw into dustbin.

Rishi adalah anak laki-laki berumur sepuluh tahun.Seperti anak laki-laki seumurannya, dia biasa marah pada ibunya. Kadangkala ia mematuhi ibu dan ayahnya dan kadang benar-benar tidak menghiraukan mereka. Karena hal seperti ini sudah biasa dilakukan anak-anak, ibu Rishi tidak terlalu mempermasalahkan.
Suatu ketika, sekolah Rishi mengumumkan lima hari liburan yang tak terduga. Dia menghabiskan waktu dengan ibunya. Ibunya mengajaknya bertamasya, mereka pergi ke pantai dan taman hiburan, memasak makanan kesukaannya waktu makan malam dan bermain-main dengannya. Tiga hari telah lewat dan ibu Rishi mengajak Rishi membersihkan rumah.
Dia meminta Rishi membantunya dan terkejut karena anak itu langsung menyanggupinya.
Segalanya dikerjakannya dengan baik. Ibu Rishi terkejut dengan apa yang ia lakukan. Saat ibunya memasak makan malam, Rishi memberinya secarik kertas yang ditulis olehnya. Karena ibunya masih sibuk memasak makanan, ia meminta Rishi meletakkannya di meja makan.
Sesudah masak, ia mengambil kertas tadi dan terkejut dengan apa yang tertulis disana.
Kertas itu bertuliskan daftar ini:
Biaya memotong rumput taman – Rp. 300
Biaya membersihkan ruanganku – Rp. 250
Biaya membantu ibu di dapur – Rp. 200
Biaya membeli susu dan buah untuk ibu – Rp. 50
Biaya menjaga adik ketika ibu berbelanja – Rp. 250
Biaya membuang sampah – Rp. 100
Total Biaya - Rp. 1150
Dia benar-benar terkejut!
Ibunya tidak berkata apa-apa dan menulis sesuatu di kertas, kemudian memberikannya pada Rishi.
Dia menulis:
Biaya mengandungmu 9 bulan – Gratis
Biaya sakit karena membesarkanmu dalam kandungan – Gratis
Biaya kurang tidur karena merawatmu selama beberapa bulan – Gratis
Biaya menenangkanmu dan tak mengeluh selama kamu mendapat masalah – Gratis
Biaya mendoakanmu dengan dengan tulus dan merasa kuatir karena kecelakaan yang kamu alami saat berumur 3 tahun– Gratis
Biaya memikirkan masa depanmu dan saat ini – Gratis
Biaya memperlakukanmu seperti hadiah terindah dalam hidupku – Gratis
Total Biaya: 0
Anak itu menangis dan berlari untuk memeluk ibunya dengan lebih erat dari sebelumnya.
Rishi tidak sanggup melihat ibunya dan berkata, "Ma, aku mencintaimu! Maafkan kesalahanku!"
Ia mencium keningnya. Rishi menyobek kertasnya dan membuangnya ke tong sampah.
