He Likes My Son

My son complained that he had no friends in school, and that his classmates teased him. This pained me a great deal. Once, when I was having a very difficult day, one of his classmate's mothers called and told me that her son really secretly likes mine, and would like to invite him to eat and play at his home! I was shocked speechless. I think the mother took my silence as hesitation, because she started trying to convince me that her home is a good atmosphere for my child. I corrected her misimpression, telling her that I had been facing challenges, and that her kind consideration had made my day. She was really surprised!
