A son took his old mother to a restaurant for an evening dinner.
Mother being old and weak, while eating, dropped food on her skirt. Others diners watched her in disgust while her son was calm.
After she finished eating, her son who was not all embarrassed, quietly took her to the wash room, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed her hair and fitted her spectacles firmly. When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that.
The son settled the bill and stated walking pout with his mother.
At that time, and old man amongst the diners called out the son and asked him, "Don't you think you have left something behind?"
The son replied, "No sir, I haven't".
The old man retorted, "Yes you have! You left a lesson for every son and hope for every mother".
