00:00Have you heard of the mountain of the abandoning of the aged?
00:06Long ago, a cruel ruler ordered that all elderly people be left there to die.
00:13A poor farmer who loved his mother deeply couldn't bear to do this.
00:20With a heavy heart, he carried her up the mountain.
00:23But as they climbed, his mother secretly dropped twigs to mark the path so he could find his way back safely.
00:33When he reached the top and said his tearful goodbye, she told him,
00:39Follow the path of twigs, my son.
00:42So you don't get lost.
00:45Her selfless love broke his heart.
00:48He cried out, I will not leave you, and carried her back home, hiding her beneath the floor.
00:57Soon, the ruler demanded a rope of ashes.
01:01It was his mother's wisdom that solved the impossible task.
01:05The ruler, amazed, learned the truth and realized, with the crown of snow, there cometh wisdom.
01:14The cruel law was abolished, all thanks to a mother's love.
