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”. |
