DO YOU WANT TO PISS OFF YOUR MOTHER?
~An old Oriental tale ~
There were two brothers in an rural coastal village in a faraway land! One is an ambitious man and the other a simple one, but their mother loves them both the same. The simple one decides to stay back in the village to be near her mother so becoming a fisherman! The other couldn’t stand being a manual labourer and aim for the sky, so left the village to search for his fortune. The fisherman brother worked hard and toiled the sea so the mother could have her daily meal. The ambitious brother was never too be seen!
The ambitious brother have travel far and wide and out of sight. But as he was ambitious, he got it right! He found his aim and gave it a fight. The reward is he gained, gave him great might. With riches in tow he never fulfil his pride and want more than what he has already in his grip. So, he set his aim as the next emperor in line by wooing and courting the emperor’s sole heir. Because of his ambition and his charming ability, he got what he wants and is set for life. A poor village boy by birth with exceptional ambition and drive has become a potential Emperor to be.
His first role was coincidentally to govern the small coastal village of his birth, where his mother and brother still lives. He travel in style that is announced at every turn. Dressed to the hilt in gold and silver, he thought he never looks a bit like his past. But mother being a mother, saw through all the glitter and recognised her son. She called out his name and was ignored in shame, for the ambitious son cannot be seen to have a poor uneducated mom. The mother was barred from his court to kept the lid on his past and this has made a very sad and disappointing mom. But the mother understands and kept her distance as she love him no less.
Then the fateful day came, wind from the sea drive waves higher than trees, hit the village with force unseen. The fisherman at sea felt the heaviest brunt. They ship twist and bend, with most breaking up in the heavy sea. Amongst those men was the ambitious man’s brother. When the waves subside, the mother was fearful as she fear that she may lost one son! So she went to the ambitious man to seek help to search for her missing son. He tossed his head and in his pride refused to recognise his mother or his brother’s existence and would not offer any help.
The mother heart broken, when to the sea cliff and wailed to the sea! She cried with tears flowing uninhibitedly. Her cry was eerie and gruelling and never stop for three days, until it woke up the God of the sea! The God of Sea learnt of her story, and clapped his hand to raise a gigantic wave. It spat out the lost son and at the same time washed down the governor’s palace with the ambitious son in it! THE END!
The moral of the story is: do not build your palace next to the sea if you want to piss off your mother.
That is what is left behind after the God of Sea swept the palace into the sea!
