Every evening, Amma made tea. Her son, Rahul, often fussed, “The tea is cold, there’s not enough sugar!” But Amma would smile and serve him anyway. One day, Amma fell ill, and Rahul had to make the tea. Heating water, adding tea leaves, and boiling milk all felt difficult. That’s when he realized Amma’s love was what made the tea special. The next day, Amma recovered. Rahul made tea for her, saying, “I made it a bit quickly today, sorry.” Amma took a sip lovingly and said, “It’s very sweet!”
Moral of the story: We often take small things for granted. It’s important to understand others’ love and appreciate their sacrifices.
