A grandmother, mother and granddaughters lived in the same village.
One day, after a hard day in the field, her mother returned home. She put it on the table and called her four-year-old son to dinner. While eating, the boy began to play around, scattering rice from the plate.
The mother began to scold her son:
- What are you doing? Is it possible to treat rice like this? Do you know how much work you need to put in so that you can eat your fill? “And, grabbing a long bamboo stick, she hit the baby on the back. The boy screamed at the top of his lungs.
The grandmother came running to hear her grandson crying.
- Wait, daughter, why are you hurting the boy? The daughter did not explain to her mother what the baby was guilty of, but instead answered rudely:
“My son, I do what I want.”
The old woman silently picked up a bamboo stick from the floor and began to beat her daughter with it.
- Why are you beating me? – the daughter turned to her mother.
And the old woman, continuing to shower her with blows, said:
- My daughter, I do what I want, my daughter, I do what I want.
