Many years later, he came wealthy. He had a huge ship and a beautiful wife. When he was
sailing his trading journey, his ship landed on a beach near a small village. The villagers
recognized him. The news ran fast in the town. An old woman ran to the beach to meet him. She
was his mother. She wanted to hug him. Unfortunately, when the mother came, he who was in
front of his wife and his ship crews denied meeting that old woman. For three times her mother
begged him. At last he said to her “Enough, old woman! I have never had a mother like you, an

Finally, enraged, she cursed him that he would turn into a stone if he didn’t apologize. He just
laughed and really set sail. In the quiet sea, suddenly a thunderstorm came. His huge ship was
