Story of the Aged Mother
I was out planting that time when
the Great Daimio sent forward a new rule. That specific rule stated, “All
elderly must be placed in Obatsuyama to leave them there to die”. I hadn’t said
a word since I got home and told my mother the new heart-breaking rule, I can
feel the pain in her heart but there was nothing I can do for
I have to follow the Daimio’s rule. I couldn’t abandon my mother, how could
I? But I have to and there is nothing I can do about it but to follow his rules

The Wonder Tree
I was so excited when I saw another traveler was going to
visit us. That traveler was the Great Sheik Ben Nedi. My dad prepared gifts and presents for the
visitor. I love travelers, visitors and such for I love to hear their different
and amazing stories. But instead of feeling happy I left sad for I have nothing
to give to the Great Sheik ben Nedi.
