On the way to the market, everyone ……………… the daughter’s beauty. They were also ………………. . There was an old woman with a simple dress

behind the beautiful girl. When a man asked about who the old woman, the daughter answered, “Oh, she is my …………… .” Hearing that statement, the

widow was so sad but she accepted that because she did not want her daughter felt so ……………. in front of many people. Another man came closer to

the daughter and asked about her and her mother.

“Excuse me, beautiful lady, who is the woman behind you? I have never seen you and this woman before” asked the man.

“No, sorry, she is just my servant” said the daughter once again.

The man believed because of their dress they wore. Again and again the widow was so sad but she wiped off her tears by her cloth. In the other hand,

her daughter was enjoyed in talking with that man without paying attention to her mother. Later, on the way home, there was a woman who asked the
same thing.

The daughter replied, “Can’t you see it? She is absolutely my servant.”

At last, the mother cannot hold the ………… anymore. The mother raised her hand and prayed to God.

“Oh My God, I cannot stand with my daughter’s ………… . My daughter is so ………….. to me. I am so sad. Oh My God, ………. her, this rebel daughter, punish

her!!”

The God answered her prayer. Slowly, the daughter's leg turned into ………….. . The process continued to the upper part of the daughter's body. She

panicked and cried.

"Mother, please forgive me!" she cried and asked her mother to forgive her.

But it was too late. Her whole body finally became a big stone. Until now people still can see ……….. falling down the stone. People then call it the

crying stone.
