DON'T judge a book by its cover. There was a young boy who sought for trust from his parents. He always tried his very best in school and do his duties at home. He was a good and responsible in the eyes of his parents. Whatever his parents wanted he gave it just to show respect and kindness to them. He always accepted the poverty of their family.
Despite the sacrifices he experienced in life, his parents were accusing him of being a drug addict. They made such suspicion because of his shabby appearance caused by too much stress doing school duties and hard works. For four days he didn't sleep. He continued his duties and responsibilities in school. Until he got sick to death. The accusation of his parents intensified. He asked, "How could my own parents accuse me of such a thing?"
One night, when the pain he was suffering was becoming intolerable, tears fell down from his eyes without knowing it. Until the tears were noticed by his parents. His father asked him with a mad voice. He did not reply. He remained silent. Then he looked at his father with eyes full of tears.
Suddenly his father started to lower his voice and calmed down. His father knew what the reason for those tears. He knew instantly that his son's tears begged for trust.
