A Story:

In a small village, a widowed mother and her son lived together. The mother worked as a gardener to support their family, and her son often watched her tend to the plants. One day, the mother fell ill and was unable to work. Worried about her plants, she asked her son to take care of them in her absence. When she recovered a week later, she was shocked to find that all the plants had withered and dried up. The boy had only sprayed water on the leaves, without watering the roots.
