The story began when I was a child; I was born
as a son of a poor family. Even for eating, we often got lack of food.
Whenever the time for eating, mother often gave me her portion of
rice. While she was removing her rice into my bowl, she would say 'Eat
this rice, son. I'm not hungry'.
That was Mother's First
Lie
When I was getting to grow up, the persevering mother
gave her spare time for fishing in a river near our house, she hoped
that from the fishes she got, she could gave me a little bit
nutritious food for my growth. After fishing, she would cook the
fishes to be a fresh fish soup, which raised my appetite. While I was
eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat the rest meat of
fish, which was still on the bone of the fish I ate. My heart was
touched when I saw it. I then used my chopstick and gave the other
fish to her. But she immediately refused it and said 'Eat this fish,
son. I don't really like fish.'
That was Mother's Second
Lie.
Then, when I was in Junior High School, to fund my
study, mother went to an economic enterprise to bring some
used-matches boxes that would be stuck in. It gave her some money for
covering our needs. As the winter came, I woke up from my sleep and
looked at my mother who was still awoke, supported by a little
candlelight and within her perseverance she continued the work of
sticking some used-matches box. I said, 'Mother, go to sleep, it's
late, tomorrow morning you still have to go for work. ' Mother smiled
and said 'Go to sleep, dear. I'm not tired.'
That was
Mother's Third Lie.
At the time of final term, mother asked
for a leave from her work in order to accompany me. While the daytime
was coming and the heat of the sun was starting to shine, the strong
and persevering mother waited for me under the heat of the sun's shine
for several hours. As the bell rang, which indicated that the final
exam had finished, mother immediately welcomed me and poured me a
glass of tea that she had prepared before in a cold bottle. The very
thick tea was not as thick as my mother's love, which was much
thicker. Seeing my mother covering with perspiration, I at once gave
her my glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said 'Drink, son. I'm
not thirsty!'.
That was Mother's Fourth
Lie.
After the death of my father because of illness, my
poor mother had to play her role as a single parent. By held on her
former job, she had to fund our needs alone. Our family's life was
more complicated. No days without sufferance. Seeing our family's
condition that was getting worse, there was a nice uncle who lived
near my house came to help us, either in a big problem and a small
problem. Our other neighbors who lived next to us saw that our
family's life was so unfortunate, they often advised my mother to
marry again. But mother, who was stubborn, didn't care to their
advice, she said 'I don't need love.'
That was Mother's
Fifth Lie.
After I had finished my study and then got a
job, it was the time for my old mother to retire. But she didn't want
to; she was sincere to go to the marketplace every morning, just to
sell some vegetable for fulfilling her needs. I, who worked in the
other city, often sent her some money to help her in fulfilling her
needs, but she was stubborn for not accepting the money. She even sent
the money back to me. She said 'I have enough money.'
That
was Mother's Sixth Lie.
After graduated from Bachelor
Degree, I then continued my study to Master Degree. I took the degree,
which was funded by a company through a scholarship program, from a
famous University in America . I finally worked in the company. Within
a quite high salary, I intended to take my mother to enjoy her life in
America . But my lovely mother didn't want to bother her son, she said
to me 'I'm not used to.'
That was Mother's Seventh
Lie.
After entering her old age, mother got a flank cancer
and had to be hospitalized. I, who lived in miles away and across the
ocean, directly went home to visit my dearest mother. She lied down in
weakness on her bed after having an operation. Mother, who looked so
old, was staring at me in deep yearn. She tried to spread her smile on
her face; even it looked so stiff because of the disease she held out.
It was clear enough to see how the disease broke my mother's body,
thus she looked so weak and thin. I stared at my mother within tears
flowing on my face. My heart was hurt, so hurt, seeing my mother on
that condition. But mother, with her strength, said 'Don't cry, my
dear. I'm not in pain.'
That was Mother's Eight
Lie.
After saying her eighth lie, She closed her eyes
forever!
