Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middleaged seller busy doing his business.However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.The seller of the noodle shop came out and noticed the young girl.
“Hey, girl, you want to have noodles？”
“Oh, yes, but I have no money on me，” she replied.
“Oh, that's nothing.I'll treat you today，” the owner said, “come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive.As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it？” asked the seller kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness！” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.“My mother showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger！”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled，“I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her？”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands.“Why didn't I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.,
