The valuable Bill One day a little boy came near his mother who was cooking in the kitchen, and gave her a little paper where he had written something. Having dried her hands and taken off her apon, the mother read the little paper: To mow the grass: $15.00 To clean my bedroom this week: $5.00 To take care of my little brother: $5.00 To go to the bakery: $0.50 To take out the garbage: $2.50 To get good grades: $50.00 To clean the patio: $5.00 TOTAL: $83.00 Having finished to read it, the mother looked at her child seriously, and not saying anything, she took a pencil and started to write on the reverse of the same paper: Because I had you in my womb 9 months and gave you the life: NOTHING Because of the sleepless nights when I healed you and prayed for you: NOTHING Because of the happyness and love of our family: NOTHING Because of the fear and worries that I had when you were sick: NOTHING Because of the food, clothes and education: NOTHING Because of my help when you needed: NOTHING After that, the boy read the paper, looked at his mother's eyes and cried. Then he said: "I love you mom..." And took a pencil and wrote with bigger letters: FULLY PAID!
