- A kind boy.
There was once a poor widow and her son living in a house near a mountain. They kept but one cow. They had to drive this cow to and from her pasture field every day. One day her son fell seriously ill. The boys mother had no one to drive her cow. The mothers mind was consoled by seeing a boy coming towards her with her cow. She had no money to buy medicine for her son. The boy opened his purse and gave her the money that had been given to him for new books.
