Then he told me about the childhood folk stories that he shared with his children when they were young, the 3 Pigs and the Twigs as well as the "Cry Wolf" story haha.
Parents do not expect anything at all from their children, all they want is for us to be able to fend for ourselves in the future when they are no longer around to take care of us.
However, I myself will make sure that I am able to fend for myself and my family for as long as I live.
