The little boy
(A folk tale my parents told me)
Long time ago,a little boy lived in a small village with his parents.Unfortunately his father died and the little boy was left alone with his mother.One day when the boy returned from the field,his mother was with another man.Scared and worried to tell the truth to his little son when the boy shout to open the door,she refused to open the door and claim that she had no son,his son had died a long time ago.After a long saying that he was her son he gave up saying"oh mother you didn't open the door for your son and said he had died a long time ago even after claiming that I'm your son,so now even you say sorry it's too late.The next day you'll see me flying towards east from the West, singing, you'll shout and claim I'm your son but I'll not turn back", saying that he went away.The next morning his mother came out and saw her son taking the form of a bird and flying towards the east,she began to wail and claim him to come back but the boy went away singing,(when I claim I'm your son you refused).Thus,the woman was left lamenting.
