A little boy was always the best in his class. He was very good in subjects taught by his teacher.
This made his class teacher so proud of him that he nicknamed him a "Hero".
Meanwhile, this boy lived with his mom in his late dad's house.
Even as the husband died and left the woman with no aid, she never hesitated in giving her son the best morals.
This made the little boy so proud of his mom's sacrifice that he tried his possible best to make her proud.
Due to his zeal to make his mom proud, he always was the best in his class.
But as time goes on, the boy started being late to classes. At first, the teacher understood it might be a mistake and failed to punish him.
But this behavior continued and the teacher got furious about it.
One day, he came late to class and the teacher severely punished him, thinking he will change but this continued.
This got the teacher really furious.
"Why do you keep coming late? He asked.
With no answer, he flogged him once again the next day.
One early morning, the teacher was riding to school. To his greatest surprise, he saw the young boy pushing his sick mom to the hospital for treatment.
This has been a routine of the boy daily to ensure proper treatment for his mom. Before heading to school.
The teacher was saddened and felt very bad.
An hour later, he spotted the boy through the window running to class.
Just as usual, he stretched out his hand for him to be punished by the teacher.
The teacher could not even realize there were droplets of tears🥲🥲🥲 in his eyes.
He felt very sorry for innocently punishing the boy without knowing that his change of attitude was as a result of his mom's health issues...

The teacher was right by punishing the boy for his sudden change of attitude. But sometimes, it is better to know the actual face of something before jumping into conclusion....
