13. The Incident of the Palanquin Bearers – 4
The Mother was falling asleep, when the sound woke her up. She then called out, “O My dear!” By that time the son had given the puffed rice and come and stood by the side of the Mother’s bed. He replied, “Yes, Mother”, whereupon the Mother asked him, “My dear child, were not the bearers given refreshments then?” The son replied that they were given parched rice and molasses now, and besides that, they had been given a rupee earlier for the purpose. The Mother was pleased to know that they had been satisfactorily served with snacks from her store room. She turned on her side, and went to sleep.
