a rusty kettle

a rusty kettle

A long time ago, I went to an elementary school in a village.
I had a girl, but I didn't have enough family.
I was living a hard life.

One day, a girl who needed a small kettle for her supplies.
I asked my mom to prepare a kettle.
But the kettle she took out of the kitchen,
old rusted in places
It was a kettle.

With old bags and clothes.
This kettle is a joke to my friends.
It was obvious.

"Is this a can or a kettle?
I'm too embarrassed to take it!"

"But I'm going to take it... If you don't take it with you,
You're going to get in trouble.”

Even before she's done talking,
She slammed the door in her room.
It's in.

And the next day, before she left the house,
My mom gave me a kettle wrapped in a cloth.
When I saw the face of my sorry mother, she said,
Pretend you can't beat him. Hold the kettle.
I went to school.

But the daughter who didn't want to be a laughing stock,
I put the kettle back in my bag without taking it out.
Because I didn't get my supplies, I told the teacher,
I was scolded.

After school, I wrapped a kettle in a cloth.
I brought it home as it is.
When my mom asked me if I used the kettle well,
The daughter nodded silently.

Then my mom said with a bright smile.
"I used a sponge to clean it up, and I saw it yesterday.
It wasn't worse than it used to be, was it?

That's when I heard it last night.
I remembered the clatter.
You rush into the room and you'll see what was inside the bag.
When I took out the kettle, I found that it wasn't a rusty kettle.
There was a kettle.

Parents' love is not until I become parents.
They say that they can know the love.
But even if you get it, even if you repay them enough as children,
You can't keep up with that love's heels.
It will be the love of parents.

Every difficult moment of life,
To my parents, who are on my side, the years melt away.
To say a word of warmth,
What do you say?

# Today's wise saying
Parents give you life,
Now I'm going to give them their lives.
