If there was a ship came, she always came through and asked about her son. ” Hi, Do you see Malin? My handsome son? Where,s Malin? “ The captain of the ship answered, ” No mom, there s no one named Malin, sorry.” Malin’s mother was upset and went to her house. It happened again and again. Then, let’s back to Malin. How was he ? Years passed. Malin became a rich merchant and had a beautiful wife. But he forgot his promise to his mother. One morning, Malin’s wife asked him to go vacation. So Malin prepared his big luxurious ship and everything to sail. However, in the middle of his voyage, a big storm blocaded their ship.

She says that you’re her Son, is that true Malin?” Malin became ashamed to admit his mother. He answered arrogantly ”Mother, oh..no..no.. My dear. I don’t know this poor old woman.” (Then Malin cried to his mother) ” Hi, you poor woman get out of my ship!” Oh Ladies and Gentlemen, Malin’s mother begged sadly, ” Malin my Son, don’t you remember your promise?

The old woman was really hurt, she got out of the ship while crying and kneeled on the ground ” Oh my God, you know what happen to me. Please, do what do you need to do.” Suddenly the wind blew hard, the sky was getting dark and the storm destroyed Malin’s ship.
