One day, Meng Zong's mother suddenly felt unwell and said to her son: I have always lost strength lately, and I don't know what the reason is. Meng Zong was very worried about his mother, and took his mother to seek medical treatment, and the doctor saw Meng Mu and said to her: This is not a serious disease, as long as it is made of fresh bamboo shoots to make soup, you can increase your physical strength.

MengZong's family is poor, and there is little water in the soup every day, where can I buy bamboo shoots? Moreover, in the cold winter months, the snow outside is drifting, and there is no trace of bamboo shoots at all, even if there is, it is also covered by heavy snow.

Xiao Mengzong very much hoped that his mother's health could get better, but he couldn't do anything about it. Thinking about it every day, finally one day, Meng Zong couldn't bear the grief in his heart, ran to the bamboo forest behind the house, and cried at the bamboo: Now my mother's body is not as good as a day, and I can't afford to buy bamboo shoots, do you want me to watch my mother die?
