Description:Translation (Seng Pan) This story is about a widow and her son. A long time ago, there lived a widow and her son in a village. The widow had a son who didn't want to do anything. He was a lazy boy. He didn't have any enthusiasm for anything. Although many years passed by, he still didn't do anything. He relied everything on his mother. He spent the money that his mother earned. He ate the food that his mother prepared. He had never done a thing. He depended on his mother for his whole life. After many years, the mother passed away because of a serious illness. All of a sudden, he didn't know what to do and wasn't able to do anything. Fortunately, he had still left some properties which his mother gave him. So, he continued his life by spending those. All things he did in a day were just eating and sleeping. Moreover, he didn't have a job. Sometimes, he killed the time with his friends. One day, he realized how much he had wasted. At that time, he had nothing left. He missed his mother and mumbled, "When she was alive, I had nothing to worry about. Food was always on the table. She always gave me everything I asked for. Now I become to realize her value but she isn't here anymore." He regretted his actions. So, he planned to offer remembrance worship for his mother by gathering village head, neighbors, friends, and other villagers. He wanted to invite many people. However, he noticed that he had no money. He already spent all the properties that her mother left. Then, he remembered when he buried his mother, he didn't take off her mother's wedding ring. And he was thinking to take it and held the remembrance worship for her. Then, he went to the cemetery. When he pulled off the ring on his mother's finger, it was stuck. Therefore, he cut the finger and took it back home. He sold the ring in the market and offered worship for his mother. Many people came and prayed for the mother. On that day, all the guests were served a meal. After the worship, there left a basket of steamed rice. When all the guests had gone, he started the calculation on the expenses. At that moment, someone knocked on the door. "Don't tease me! Just come in!" the boy shouted. But the knocks were still going on. He was curious what it was. So, he opened the door, he saw an old lady who exactly looked like his mother. The lady asked, "Is some steamed rice left?" The boy let her in and served the food on a table. Actually, that lady was the boy's mother but he didn't know. At that time, people believed in spirits and worshipped them. So, the lady also relived and went back to her son. She ate the whole basket of steamed rice. And she put her arm on the table. "What happened to your finger, grandma?" the boy asked. "You cut it," the old lazy replied. The boy suddenly recognized her mother. He got so shocked that his mother relived. And he also died there.
