Look at our fate, mother and children!" said mother, whereupon she fainted. / My sister also came out. "Big brother, consider your thinking, look at mother!" she said, weeping, and because of this correct thinking. / I too shed many tears. / For a little while, we two, brother and sister, weeping, rubbed mother's hands, calling her name, then she came to and stood up. / (95) She looked at me fixedly with her weeping face. / "Son, as the likes of our misery, mother and children, are not found anywhere in the world, how do you even think of singing songs? / "As for me, your old mother, when I think of it, I have nothing but despair and a need to cry" she said. / Uttering lamentation, the three of us, mother and children, wept.[view all texts]
