- (continued from previous page)ting about his poor widowed mother.
One night he came to a little cabin where lived an old woman. He asked shelter of her for the night. She gave him his supper and asked him who he was and where he came from. He told her he had lost his way some years ago and that he had left his lonely mother in an old cabin by the hill and was now without a house.
In this way the old woman found out that it was her own son to whom she was speaking and words cannot convey the joy of the happy meeting.
