In a small village, a boy named Xiao Qiang lived. He always depends on his mother. He seems unable to live without her. Every day, he will wait for his mother to cook for him and take care of his daily life. His mother felt helpless about it, but she couldn't find any way to change him.

One day, his mother needs to leave the village to do some things and is expected to come back that evening. Before leaving, she made a cake for Xiao Qiang and put it on his head. She told Xiao Qiang that as long as he ate the cake during this time, he could stand on his own feet. Xiao Qiang agreed, and his mother left safely.

However, when his mother left, Xiao Qiang didn't eat the cake. On the contrary, he always put the cake on his head, because he felt that as long as the cake was on his head, it was like his mother was around. This state continued until mother came home. She found that Xiao Qiang didn't eat the cake, but put it on her head.

Mother was both surprised and moved. She understands how much Xiao Qiang depends on her, and she also sees her responsibility. From that day on, she began to teach Xiao Qiang how to live independently, how to cook and how to take care of herself. Xiao Qiang also began to study hard to repay his mother.

This story tells us that mothers are the center of our lives, and their efforts and care are immeasurable. At the same time, it also reminds us that everyone has learned to be independent, even children need to learn how to live independently. Only in this way can we really grow up and be truly independent.
