sleeping. Then he went to the pitcher for water. Unfortunately, the pitcher was
totally empty. It was deep dark night. But his love for mother removed all his
fear. He took the pitcher and went outside to bring water.The source of water was not near. He had to go to a spring far away from his house. After about two hours he returned home with water. This time his mother was in deep sleep. He was standing beside his mother’s bed holding the glass of water.
