The mother who asked for money

Mr Kitahara is a famous Japanese TV satire movie star cum director.
A few years ago his mother passed away.
He went home to attend her funeral.
He never quite liked his mother,
because she kept asking him for money.
Should he missed a payment,
his mother would call him up and scolded him.
On top of that,
the more famous he became the more money
his mother demanded from him.

When he arrived at the funeral,
he still cried very miserably.
He felt that he did not fulfill his duties
as a son to take care of his mother during her living years.

At the end of the service,
as he was about to leave,
his brother handed him a small parcel saying,
"Mother asked me to pass this to you."
Carefully he opened the parcel.

He found within, a savings passbook and a letter.
The savings account was under his name
with a balance of tens of million Yen.
In the letter his mother wrote,

"Dear son, among all my children, you are the one whom got me most worried. You were never an academic, a true spendthrift and over generous to your friends.
When I knew that you were going to work in Tokyo,
I was worried that one day you would become a bankrupt.
That is why I insist on you sending me money every month.
This is to give you a drive to earn more money,
at the same time help you to save. Here is all your money,
I did not have to spend a cent,
for your brother has taken care of me very well.
Now take the money and spend wisely."

After reading the letter he broke down with tears and sorrow...
