“Hi girl, you look so beautiful. Anyway, who is the old woman behind you? Is she your mother? Why do you let her bring such a heavy shopping basket?” asked the man.
“Oh my Gosh, of course she is not. She is just my maid and it is her job to help me shop,” answered the daughter.
Every time she got such questions, she would respond the same. Her mother just remained silent. However, hearing that thing over and over again made the mother’s heart hurt.
Suddenly, the mother stopped and sat off the road, crying. “Mom, why do you stop there? Let’s get going or we won’t be home before midnight,” shouted the daughter.
The mother did not respond to her, she raised her hands and prayed, “My Lord, please, forgive me for my inability to educate this child. I’m willing if you punish this disobedient child, Lord.”
The sky suddenly darkened, a huge lightning bolt struck, and it started to rain.
The daughter started to panic as she could not move her leg, slowly her legs turned to stone and continued to spread to other parts of his body. “Mom, I am really sorry. Please, forgive me. Help me mom, help! Help me, please.”
However, it was too late. There’s no point in regretting what she did, her whole body had turned to stone.
Surprisingly, from the stone statue’s eyes, tears kept flowing. That is why, people called that statue, the crying stone.
