After the girl and her little brother

Once upon a time, there was a
family with a mother, a 11-year old sister
named Melor and a three year old brother
named Pekan. They were a very poor
family in their village. One day, the
children's mother caught a fish in a river
and she was lucky because in the fish,
there were fish eggs inside.

sister tried to make it up to her mother,
"Maybe, I can cook something else for
you?" The mother denied the sister's
question, "No, It's alright”.

her name. They saw their mother, the
mother was close to the eating stone.
The mother's mind was blank and cannot
hear anything except the calling voice of
the stone. The two siblings even decided
to pull the mother's hair. But, it was too
late. Their mother was gone, forever.
