Fulfilling a mother's request.

A mother had once asked her son to bring her a glass of water. He went to fetch the glass of water but when he returned, his mother had fell asleep. Time passed by and she still slept. He thought to himself that he must stand and wait until she awakes. When his mother woke the next morning, she saw him still holding the glass of water and she asked him why he didn?t leave. He explained that he didn?t want to place her in any undue hardship and waited there hoping that she would wake up soon asking for the water.
