Once upon a time in a little village, there lived a loving son named Sam and his mother, Mrs. Green. Every day, Sam takes care of his mother with patience.

When Mrs. Green wants to go for a walk, Sam patiently helps her put on her shoes and holds her arm as they stroll down the road.

One day, Mrs. Green says, "Sam, I would love some fresh apples from the tree near the river." Sam smiles and says, "Patience, Mom! We'll get some."

Sam and his mother walk to the river, and Sam patiently waits for the apples to ripen on the branches. He says, "Patience, Mom, the apples will be perfect soon!"

Finally, the apples turn a beautiful shade of red, and Sam picks them for his mother. Mrs. Green hugs Sam and says, "Thank you, my patient and caring son!"
