I’m just tired of providing for somebody who is so thankless. Get it together, stay focused.” The next day when the first boy went to school, he didn’t have a pencil so he decided to steal one from his classmates, without them noticing. pencil-1037609__340 At first, he was scared but after a while, he felt more comfortable.

  27. A lovely story! We see two mothers, but they have totally different priorities. The first mother cares more about the pencils (materialistic loss), while the second one only cares about her child. Happy Mother Day to you and all the Mom out there ❤
