 3- A Short Story About Compliment

There was a skinny girl standing on the beach, and everyone was looking at her sarcastically because of her noticeable thinness, but she did not care about people's looks and tried to enjoy the beauty of the sea.
 
While the girl was relaxing on the sea, her friend came and said to her, "You don't have a paunch, and this is a very beautiful thing." The skinny girl felt joy because of this honest compliment for her appearance.

Dear Friend,
One of the best ways to facilitate your relationships with others is to be proficient in the art of praise. When you talk to someone else, always start talking about a topic that the other party likes, and throughout the conversation use positive words and phrases, for example, the phrase you did not say the truth is better than the phrase you are a liar. The phrase you're out of luck better than the phrase you're a failure. And so on...

A wise man said,
A talkative person is someone who talks to you about others.
A humorless is the one who constantly tells you about himself.
A polite speaker is someone who talks to you about yourself, and talks to you about what you want to hear; not what he wanted to say.

I waited a long time, and I was sad for the condition of the students and sad for the condition of the poor woman. After a while, Mary came and stopped to talk to the woman. I did not hear the conversation that took place between them, but the conversation ended when Mary opened the cake box and gave half of it to the poor woman. Many students passed by the woman, but only Mary gave her food, Mary refused to win the competition at the expense of this poor woman's hunger and preferred to feed her whatever the result."
 
In the end, the headmaster called Mary and gave her a certificate of appreciation and a financial reward. Mary cried because she had never expected to win the competition, so the headmaster hugged her and all the teachers and students congratulated Mary and took souvenir photos with her.

All the students were happy when they heard this news except Joseph, who was very sad and did not want his mother to come to the party.

Joseph returned to the house and was very sad, so his mother asked him why he was sad, Joseph said to her that he was just tired, his mother left him and did not pressure him. A day passed and Joseph was always sad and here his mother insisted on knowing the reason for his deep sadness, Joseph started crying so his mother hugged him, and she imagined that Joseph had lost something, or he might be afraid of his father or his grades in this month are few.

The mother tried to reassure Joseph and asked him why he was sad, so Joseph told her about the party that the school intends to hold. The mother was surprised and asked him about the reason for crying. Joseph said, I am crying because I am embarrassed to tell you this. The mother was very sad and asked her son with tears in her eyes "Do I not deserve to be the ideal mother?" Joseph looked at his mother's tears but did not say a word.

After Joseph had calmed down, his mother said to him, "You don’t want me to go to the party so that your friends don’t see the burns on my face and my hands. You don’t even see the burns on my back, and you don’t know how much I’ve suffered from these burns for so many years." Joseph apologized to his mother and asked her about the cause of these burns. Joseph did not know the cause of these burns, but he was wondering all his life about the reason. His mother said calmly, Do you want to know the cause of these burns? These burns because of you, Joseph!

Joseph said, I! How? Please my mother tell me everything. The mother said, only today I can tell you what happened to me. When you were 9 months old, you were screaming from hunger, and the light was cut off that night and your father was at work. There were two candles in the house, so I put a candle in the bedroom, then I put you on the bed, and I took the other candle with me to the kitchen to prepare food for you. While I was preparing
food, the candle in your room fell and the room caught fire. I could not smell the smoke because I was suffering from a bad cold that day but I heard the neighbors saying with their loud voices (fire.. fire)

I rushed to check on you and I found the fire and smoke coming out of the bedroom. I tried to enter the room and the fire almost devoured me, so I back off a little and covered my body with a blanket and entered the middle of the fire to look for you. The blanket caught fire so I threw it and when I was looking for you, the fire caught me with my hand and my hair but I didn't care about myself, I found you in the middle of the bed, I held you before your body caught fire, I hugged you and started moving quickly because the fire managed to catch me.

I came out of the room and found the neighbors who came to help us, they brought water to put out the fire, and as soon as I got out one of the women took you from me while the rest tried to put out the fire that was in my body. After a while, your father came from work and took me to the hospital, I was crying from the fire pain that was in my body, but I was happy that you are fine. Do you know now the cause of the burns on my body?

Joseph looked at his mother with tears in his eyes and said, "Forgive me, mother, you are the greatest mother in the world. You sacrificed yourself for me; I am sorry mother." The father followed the situation from afar, then entered and embraced his son and his dear wife. From this moment, Joseph changed his position and insisted that his mother come to the party.

The next day, Joseph went to school and was cheerful and proud. Joseph asked to meet the headmaster, and when he sat with him, he explained to him everything his mother told him yesterday. Joseph asked the headmaster to let his mother sit in the last row so that she would not be ashamed of the ladies who were dressed in the most beautiful clothes.

The headmaster continued his speech and said, Today we will honor the best perfect mother. I will tell you the story of a mother who saved her son from being burned and accepted that her body is burned from the fire touching her son. The headmaster told the story of Joseph's mother and how she sacrificed herself in order to save her son.

After that, the headmaster said to the attendees, Do you accept that this mother is the ideal mother for this year? All those present stood and with one heart they applauded for Joseph's mother, and all the children went out to congratulate the mother.
