Goodbye Mom,

 Note/ in some countries they use the word "Mam" which means Madam as a way of respect for old ladies, but in most of Arabic countries they call her "Mom’ which means Mother also for respect.

 

 A young man entered into a supermarket to buy the needs of his house, while he was walking around in the market, he noticed an elderly woman walking behind him from one place to another, even approached him strongly and looked at him, he turned to her and said "Mom, what do you want from me?

 "She turned to him, cried and said "my mother" It's the nicest word I have heard". "Hear my son, you look the same like my son who died in a car accident, I missed the word “Mom" which rejoices my heart and returns my strength to me” she wept bitterly. He tried to calm her.

She said "I want to ask you a favor" . He Said: “What is it?”

"Please say to me: my mom, my mom, my mom".

The young man shouted: "my mom, my mom, my mom".

She left with tears was streaming from her eyes.

The young man felt sorry for her and wished if he had not seen this sad mother.

After that, when he completed the shopping, he went to the cashier to pay for his purchases, He was feeling bad for the sad mother.

The young man went to the cashier and asked: "How much the account?"

The cashier: The account 450 pounds, and the account of your mother 1550 pounds.

The young man: "Mom?? Where is my mother?"

The cashier: Who just left from here, and you said to her goodbye Mom. She said “my son will pay for my account”.

The cashier: Did your mother go from here and you said to her good bye, my mother???

 The young man said yes, I said goodbye, my mother, to a woman her son died.

The cashier said: I know nothing but the account

The young man had to pay for himself and for the old lady.

  • Lady Anne,

    I totally agree with you in opinion. Unfortunately the cheating and fraud has spread so much this dayes. Thank you for your comment.

  • That old woman should be thinking for her own soul since she is at the last part of her life on earth.  Shame on her!  The young man must be thinking that kindness sometimes doesn't pay off.  Well, I don't wonder why other people don't trust others anymore.  The world is turning into a haven of heartless morons, hehe! (Sorry for this offensive term.)

    As a customer, he has the right to complain.  The cashier should have confirmed it first and should never assume.  Oh... this "assuming" has victimized a lot people, hasn't it?

  • Very nice story with unexpected end, I'm sure that God will bless this young man for his kind act. However, the old lady will pay this back in deferent way.
