When Mike was little, his father died. Life became difficult for Mike and his mother. Sometimes they couldn't have enough food to eat. Though it was difficult, his mother worked hard to raise Mike up with the best possible care and education.
When Mike grew up, he got a chance to move to America for his further study. He studied hard and became an engineer, living a good life. He often sent home letters with much money for his mother. However, with many reasons, he didn't go back to visit his mother year after year.
When his mother died, Mike returned and held a big funeral (葬礼). His mother left behind a box that she always carried around. Mike opened it and started to cry loudly.
The box was filled with $100 dollar bills and a piece of paper. It read, "Son. I don't need to spend much money. I miss you a lot. Every time I hear a car passing by, I run out of the door but it isn't you. I save the money for you so that you can use it whenever you need it."
