One day a woman looking like a beggar approaches him and tells him that she is his mother who was desperately searching for him for a long, long time. He laughs at her and makes her leave... That day his face turns ugly. He now has to beg for forgiveness so goes to find the woman he turned away - his mother who loved him so dearly...
