After his father died, a man placed his elderly mother in an old age home, visiting only occasionally. One day, he got a call: “Your mother is very serious. Please come.”
At her bedside, he asked, “Mom, what can I do for you?”
She said, “Install fans and a fridge here. Many nights I slept hungry and in heat.”
Surprised, he asked, “Why didn’t you ever tell me before?”
She replied, “I managed. But I’m afraid when your children send you here, you won’t be able to. What you give is what you get.”
