Parents will do anything for their children to give them a better future. The main character in this story is one such person.

Her name is Mary, a rural woman, and she’s 65 years old.

She’s a housekeeper, living a simple and frugal life. She spent all her savings to buy a house for her son.

Mary’s son, David, is 35 years old. His wife passed away a long time ago.

David didn’t like studying and dropped out of school at age 15. He moved to the city to work when he was 18, but he never held a job for long.

He always rented an apartment, and Mary felt sorry for him. She wanted him to have a home of his own, a warm place to live.

So, she took all her savings and paid the down payment for a house in the city for him.

That day, Mary excitedly took David to buy a house. Soon after, she gave him the keys and the deed.

David opened the door to his new home. He finally had a place of his own in the city. He ran to his mother, hugged her tightly, and thanked her for everything she had done for him.

“Mom, this house is amazing! I don’t have to pay rent anymore. I can decorate it myself and make it even nicer,” David said excitedly.
