Crying Stone

Once upon a time, there was a young girl and her mother in a small village. The girl was lazy never helped her mother to earn her living. She dressed up and admired her own beauty in the mirror. Beside lazy she was also spoiled.

One day..

Mother: “my beautiful daughter, please accompany me to the market.”

The daughter: “what? Wahat do you want mother?”

Mother: “I want you to accompany me to the market”

The daughter: “ok, but you have to walk behind me”

With a sad heart, her mother agreed. So the girl walk in front and mother followed behind her, carrying a basket. The mother and daughter looked very different. The daughter looked very beautiful in her pretty dress, while the mother looked very old woman in her simple dress.

On the way to the market, people greeted the beautiful girl and old woman behind her.

Stranger: “hy beautiful lady! Who is the old woman behind you?”

The daughter: “oh.. she is my servant”

The mother was sad and kept silent. At last, the mother couldn’tbear it anymore. She prayed to the god to punish her daughter.

Finally: the god answered the prayer. Slowly the girl’s legs turned into stone and third process continued to upper part of the girl’s body. The girl began to be panic.

The girl:” mother.. mother.. forgive me, forgive me!”

She cried and cried. But, it was too late. Finally her whole body turned into stone.

Until now people can still see the tears falling down the stone. That’s why that tone is called “Crying Stone”
