Once
their lived a boy called Ramu. One day he stole
a book from one of his classmates. Instead of
punishing him his mother well appreciated him.
She said, “That was so clever my boy”.
As he grew older and older Ramu came to be known
as the village thief. One day the police caught
him and he was ordered to be hanged. The day of
his execution arrived, and his mother was beating
her hands in her chest and was crying. Ramu saw
his mother crying in the crowd. He pleaded to
the securities to allow him to speak his last
words to his mother in her ear. Then his mother
showed his ear to Ramu so that he can speak. Ramu
then bit his mother’s ear. Many of the people
came and pushed him back and asked him if she
was his mother or not. Then he replied, “
that lady is my mother, because of her I am going
to be hanged now. When I was small I did mischief,
without punishing me she encouraged me to do it
again and again. I was an unnatural child and
so my mother”. |
