Answers
Answer:
The aged mother’ is a story which appreciates the importance of aged people. The proverb ‘The old are wise’ is proved in this story. The country Shining was ruled by a governor. Once, he declared that all the aged people must be put to death. A farmer loved his elderly mother very much. He decided to leave her on a mountain. The road which they travelled had lot of confusions. So she snapped twigs from the brushes and dropped them along the narrow path as markers. Thus using her intelligence, she ensured her son’s safe return. But he did not want to leave her lovable mother. So they returned and he hid her at his home. Later the governor ordered the people to present him a rope of ashes. The unselfish mother suggested him an idea of burning a twisted straw on a windless night. Seeing the rope of ashes, the governor praised him. Knowing the wisdom of the old mother, he proclaimed that Shining needed the wisdom of the aged than the strength of the youth. At last, he abolished the order to kill the aged people of his country.
