A very good morning to everybody. I am Sohaum Pattanayak from II B.

Now I am going to narrate a beautiful emotional story about a boy and his wonderful mother who had only one eye. The name of my story is My mom had only one eye. 1. My mom had only one eye. I hated her. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family. During my Primary School days, one day my mom came to the school to say hello to me. I was so ashamed. I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at the school one of my classmates said How funny your mom has only one eye. I wanted to burry myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said If you only want me to make a laughing stock, why dont you just die? My mom did not respond. I did not even stop to think for a second about what I had said because I was full of anger and did not care for her feelings.

I did not want to stay with her. So I studies real hard, I grew up, got a chance to go abroad to study. I was settled there and got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids. I was happy with my comfortable life. Then one day my mother came to visit me. She had not seen me in years and did not even meet her grandchildren.

10. When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW! 11. And to this, my mother quietly answered Oh, I am sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address and she disappeared out of sight. 12. One day a letter regarding my school old boys meet, came to my house. I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. 13. After the meeting at the school, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity. 14. The neighbours said that she had died. I did not shed a single drop of tear. They handed me a letter she had wanted me to have.

My dearest son, I think of you all the time. I am sorry that I came to your house and scared your children. I was so glad when I heard that you were coming to the school for the old boys meet. But I may not be able to get out of bed to see you. I am sorry that you were constantly ashamed of me when you were growing up. You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident and lost one eye. As a mother I could not stand watching you to grow up with only one eye. So I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son, who was seeing a whole new world for me with my eye. With all my love to you. Your mother Moral Mothers love is so selfless and pure.
