- There was a widow who had an only son. She loved him so much as her won life and he was most obedient to her and loved her dearer than himself. Time came on and he became a beautiful boy. After a while he began speaking to a girl and proposed marriage. His mother would not allow him to marry her. So he left for America, and sailed on the Titanic. The ship went down and he and the crew went down and were drowned and left his mother to lament his loss.
