said that the master lived for thirty years more. The beggar was almost fifty years old, so maybe he was going to live for eighty years; the master lived for thirty years more.

Love is a miracle. Your mother must have loved you tremendously. So be happy -- to find such a mother is rare. And to find the mother back in your own child is very rare.
