The narrative "The Aged Mother" by "Matsuo Basho" emphasizes the bond between a mother and a son.
as well as the wisdom of the elderly. Once upon a time, there
lived a poor farmer who loved and treasured
his mother above all else. They lived in the country of 'Shining,' which
was ruled by a dictatorial ruler who
once ordered the killing of all elders.
Since the poor farmer cherished his mother so much, he did not want to carry out the order. But, when
the situation demanded it, he decided to take his mother up the mountain
and abandon her as a gentle
way of killing her. At the top of the mountain, when he said his goodbyes to his
mother, he was touched
by
her wise counsel and concern for her son's safety. He then decided to return
home with his mother, hiding
her in his hut so that no one would notice.
Days passed. After some time, the cruel governor of Shining issued another order, this time to present him
with a rope made of ashes. And, when the Shining's people were confused as to how to carry
out such
an impossible order, the poor farmer was able to do it with the help of his mother.
When the governor questioned the farmer about how he was able to do such a task, the farmer revealed
the truth. The governor did not penalize him for rescuing his mother, but he did withdraw his proclamation
as he recognized the value of the elderly in a country's development.
The narrative ends with the moral that the knowledge of the elderly is just as vital as the strength of the
youth.
