predict
So I hurried over to her home. Happily, I told my mom the good news, gave the money and asked her to save it in the bank. Upon hearing it, my mom burst into tears, hugged me tightly and asked me to go to the bank with her. I told her to just hand it to the teller. After a long silence, she said there was no account at all.
Knowing that there was no bank account at all, I felt very surprised. Over the past twenty years, the bank account had made a difference to me, which gave me power and confidence. With a bright smile, Mom said: “It is important for children to feel secure in their childhood.” Stories of the past years jumped into my mind, with tears bursting. It is mother’s white lie that protects us and provides us with a warm and secure feeling.
