Mother heart

                                    Mother heart
Long ago, there lived a woman named kisa goutami. She had a boy child. She adored him a lot.  One day suddenly, he died of some illness. Now, Kisa goutami is mad in grief.  People saw her sorrow,asked her to go near Bhagwan Buddha who has come to their place. They said Buddha will surely give life to Goutami's child. Goutami went near Buddha.
Buddha saw Goutami carrying the dead body of her child and coming near him. Goutami put the dead body of her child near Buddha's feet and begged him to give life to her son. Buddha realised for a mother's heart in grief, sympathy will not be sufficient. He asked Goutami to bring mustard seeds from a house, where no death has happened.
Goutami agreed and went back to village. She asked everyone for mustard seed  but on a condition that death must not have happened in their house. But everyone said they cant give mustard seeds as recently death had happened in their house. Goutami was broken hearted.
She returned near Buddha. Now, she has understood that death is unavoidable to each creature. Goutami became the follower of Buddha and tried to understand the secret of death and life.
MORAL : When we born, our death is also born with us.
