The sick poor woman and her only son

---TOUCHING STORY---

A boy and his mother were so poor, the mother had to suffer just to carter for the boy's need. One day, the boy came back from school looking so dull. His mother asked him, "whats wrong with you son"? He answered, "I am feeling sick".

The mother had no money to buy him drugs but she knew of a certain leaf that cures sicknesses. That leaf was planted in their farm. So she had to go to the farm and get the leaf.

The boy waited for his mom for over 3hours but she still didn't return from the farm. 15 minutes later, the boy heard some people making noise outside their compound.

When he managed to go outside to see what was happening, he saw some youths coming towards their compound. When the youths came closer, he noticed that the youths were carrying a dead human being's body.

So he went a liltle closer to see who they were carrying. He was shocked to see that it's his mothers body. When he asked what happened to his mom, he was told that his mom was bitten by a snake.

The boy cried and said to himself "How I wish we had money, my mom wouldn't have died".

From that day, he vowed to hustle real hard to make sure he gets enough money to raise and take good care of his own family.

Today, he is a successful business man in Lagos, Nigeria. He has so many cars, companies and factories, he also has a girlfriend who he is set to marry in December.
