A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was cooking supper, and her a piece of paper that he had written something on. After his mother her hands, she read what on the paper.
For the grass: $5.00

For going to the supermarket for you: $1.00
For taking out the rubbish: $1.00
For cleaning up the garden: $2.00
Total: $10.00
Well, his mother looked at him for a while, and then she picked up a pen, turned the paper he had written on, and this was what she wrote:
For the nine I carried you while you were growing inside me, free.
For all the nights that I’ve sat up with you, fed you and stories for you, free.
For all the tears(眼泪) that you’ve through the years, free.
When you add it up, the cost of my love is free.
For all the nights that were filled with worries, free.
For the toys, food, clothes, and even cleaning your nose, free.
And when you add it all up, the of real love is free.
When the little boy finished reading what his mother had written, there was / were in his eyes. He looked straight up at his mother and said, “Mom, I sure do love you.” And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: IN FULL.
