Mother did know

Once a man came to our house and said:

"This is about a Hindu family with eight children who have long been without food. Upon hearing this I took a handful of rice and left quickly so they could eat that night.

In the faces of those eight children saw the traces drawn from hunger, as it rarely had seen. However, this mother had the courage to break the rice into two equal portions and left with one.

When he returned I asked: - Where have you gone? What have you done?

- They too are hungry! Replied the lady.

A Muslim family living in the house opposite and had so many children. This mother knew that they too were hungry. What moved me was that she knew and, as I knew, was generous to the heroism of deprivation.

This is really beautiful! That's true love!. This woman came with pain.

You should have seen the faces of those little ones!
They really understood what her mother had done. The gesture of their mother taught them what true love is.
