This folktale teaches about the importance of honesty between friends. A crow and sparrow make a bet to see who can eat the most peppers, but the crow cheats by hiding peppers under the mat without the sparrow seeing. When the crow claims victory and says he will eat the sparrow according to their bet, the sparrow insists the crow first wash his beak since crows eat nasty things. This leads the crow on a futile quest to get water, make a pot, and dig clay, exposing the crow's dishonest nature at each attempt. Ultimately, the greedy crow is burned to ashes when fire is placed on his back, while the honest sparrow lives to a ripe old age.

Hello learner! Are you familiar with the song entitled, “Mama” by Spice Girls? I bet you are.
Listen to the song in www.youtube.com and sing with it while playing. If you don’t have the

“Mama”
Spice Girls
She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free
Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn't be
Every other day I crossed the line I didn't mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend I never had
Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood mama
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama I love you
Mama I care
Mama I love you
Mama my friend
You're my friend
I didn't want to hear it then but I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about, about the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility
Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama I love you

Knowing the Author
Before reading the story, get to know the author first.
A Japanese Author Matsuo Basho (1644 – 1694) was the most
famous poet of the Edo period in Japan. He is today regarded as the
master of the haiku, and one of the greatest poets in the history of
Japanese literature. In his own times, Basho was particularly famous
for his renga, collaborative poems in which a group of poets would
take turns writing linked stanzas; today, however, Basho is known
worldwide for his clear, piercing haikus.

Reading of the Japanese Folktale.
THE STORY OF THE AGED MOTHER
A Japanese Folktale
by Matsuo Basho
Long, long ago there lived at the foot of the mountain a poor farmer and his aged,
widowed mother. They owned a bit of land which supplied them with food, and they were
humble, peaceful, and happy.
Shining was governed by a despotic leader who though a warrior, had a great and
cowardly shrinking from anything suggestive of failing health and strength. This caused him
to send out a cruel proclamation. The entire province was given strict orders to immediately
put to death all aged people. Those were barbarous days, and the custom of abandoning old
people to die was not uncommon. The poor farmer loved his aged mother with tender
reverence, and the order filled his heart with sorrow. But no one ever thought twice about
obeying the mandate of the governor, so with many deep and hopeless sighs, the youth
prepared for what at that time was considered the kindest mode of death.
Just at sundown, when his day’s work was ended, he took a quantity of unwhitened
rice which was the principal food for the poor, and he cooked, dried it, and tied it in a square
cloth, which he swung in a bundle around his neck along with a gourd filled with cool, sweet
water. Then he lifted his helpless old mother to his back and started on his painful journey
up the mountain. The road was long and steep; the narrow road was crossed and re-crossed
by many paths made by the hunters and woodcutters. In some place, they lost and confues,
but he gave no heed. One path or another, it mattered not. On he went, climbing blindly
upward -- ever upward towards the high bare summit of what is known as Obatsuyama, the
mountain of the “abandoning of the aged.”
The eyes of the old mother were not so dim but that they noted the reckless
hastening from one path to another, and her loving heart grew anxious. Her son did not know
the mountain’s many paths and his return might be one of danger, so she stretched forth her
hand and snapping the twigs from brushes as they passed, she quietly dropped a handful
every few steps of the way so that as they climbed, the narrow path behind them was dotted
at frequent intervals with tiny piles of twigs. At last the summit was reached. Weary and
heart sick, the youth gently released his burden and silently prepared a place of comfort as
his last duty to the loved one. Gathering fallen pine needles, he made a soft cushion and
tenderly lifted his old mother onto it. Hew rapped her padded coat more closely about the
stooping shoulders and with tearful eyes and an aching heart he said farewell.
The trembling mother’s voice was full of unselfish love as she gave her last
injunction. “Let not thine eyes be blinded, my son.” She said. “The mountain road is full of
dangers. LOOK carefully and follow the path which holds the piles of twigs. They will guide
you to the familiar path farther down.” The son’s surprised eyes looked back over the path,
then at the poor old, shriveled hands all scratched and soiled by their work of love. His heart
broke within and bowing to the ground, he cried aloud: “oh, Honorable mother, your kindness
breaks my heart! I will not leave you. Together we will follow the path of twigs, and together
we will die!”
Once more he shouldered his burden (how light it seemed now) and hastened down
11. 9
the path, through the shadows and the moonlight, to the little hut in the valley. Beneath the
kitchen floor was a walled closet for food, which was covered and hidden from view. There
the son hid his mother, supplying her with everything she needed, continually watching and
fearing she would be discovered. Time passed, and he was beginning to feel safe when
again the governor sent forth heralds bearing an unreasonable order, seemingly as a boast
of his power. His demand was that his subjects should present him with a rope of ashes.
The entire province trembled with dread. The order must be obeyed yet who in all
Shining could make a rope of ashes? One night, in great distress, the son whispered the
news to his hidden mother. “Wait!” she said. “I will think. I will think” On the second day she
told him what to do. “Make rope of twisted straw,” she said. “Then stretch it upon a row of
flat stones and burn it on a windless night.” He called the people together and did as she
said and when the blaze died down, there upon the stones, with every twist and fiber
showing perfectly, lay a rope of ashes.
The governor was pleased at the wit of the youth and praised greatly, but he
demanded to know where he had obtained his wisdom. “Alas! Alas!” cried the farmer, “the
truth must be told!” and with deep bows he related his story. The governor listened and then
meditated in silence. Finally, he lifted his head. “Shining needs more than strength of youth,”
he said gravely. “Ah, that I should have forgotten the well-known saying, “with the crown of
snow, there cometh wisdom!” That very hour the cruel law was abolished, and custom
drifted into as far a past that only legends remain.

Word Detectives
Context clues are hints that the author gives to help define a word you don’t know.
The clue may appear in the same sentence as the word you don’t know or in a
nearby sentence.
This is a useful and important strategy because it helps you understand what you
are reading, and it allows you to easily learn new vocabulary.
Types of Context Clues
Synonym: A word or group of words that
has the same meaning as the unknown
word can be found in the sentence.
Example: My little brother is gaunt—just
so thin and bony!
Antonym: A word or group of words that
has the opposite meaning of the unknown
word can be found in the sentence.
Example: Though some students are
aloof, others pay attention to everything.
Explanation: The unknown word is
explained within the sentence.
Example: Specific examples in the
sentence help define the term.
13. 11
Example: My friend was so forlorn when
her dog died that she cried for a week.
Example: Commercial vehicles, such as
trucks, buses, and taxis with paid drivers,
can all be found on the road.
