Title Daida hte kasha (The widow and her son) with English translation
Description Translation (Gun Mai)
The title of the story is "Due to the mother is not beautiful" There was a boy. In his village, one day, the whole villagers went to scoop fish. When they were scooping fish, the boy did not put the fish that he got into his mother's basket because his mother was not beautiful and he just put it into the others mothers' basket. After they all finished scooping fish, they returned home. And, the boy wandered around the houses that he gave the fish but no one invited him to eat food. That's why he felt very sad and returned home. When he got home, his mother cooked the fish that she got and was waiting for the boy to eat dinner together. Then, when the mother saw her son's return, the mother called the boy and ate dinner together. At that time, the boy was very happy because he thought to himself that "Although I did not love my mother because she is not beautiful and I just helped others, no one takes care of me. Only my mother takes care of me. The most important thing in the world is the love of the mother," the boy understood that day. Therefore, we also should respect our mothers and should value the love of mothers.
