“Well, the ripe fruits are for my mother, and the unripe ones are for me,”
said Chakri. Now, the robbers understood why the fruits were divided in such

obedient son who loved his mother dearly.
“Well boy, you are truly devoted to your mother. Here, take this money. Go
and buy some food for yourself and your mother,” said the leader.
“Thank you very much but I can’t take the money,” Chakri turned down the
offer politely.
“Why not?” the leader asked.

The leader was very shocked to hear Chakri’s words. The leader was very
remorseful. He instructed his followers who were carrying their loots to return
them at once.
Chakri continued his way home while the leader looked at him with utter
admiration.
