How is Your Mother ?

 

 

The story is named: How is Your Mother?

Humphrey Partridge moved to the small village three years ago. He appeared that he was so busy to look after his sick mother and didn’t have any time to make communication with others. So people who around him believed he lived for his mother. Anyway, none one had seen his mother.

 One day, a local postman broke a window into his house to save his mother because of smoking, when he came home from his work which he just had quitted and going to move Canada with his winning money from a competition. However, there was not an old lady in the house. People in the village said Mr Partridge killed his mother getting her money to live Canada.  When police involved, he said he had been adopted and hadn’t seen his mother since he was six month. He wanted to be alone, so invented his mother for an excuse. Police couldn’t find any evidences to accuse Mr Partridge killed his mother. The news was published on the newspaper.

A few days later, Mr Partridge was shocked that an old woman with a painted face appeared in front of him, and called herself a mother of Mr Partridge. Mr Partridge didn’t believe and had an argument with her. Suddenly, an old woman who was Mr Partridge’s mother died in front of him. Mr Partridge surrendered himself to the police. The police gave him freedom, because they thought he had a little joke with them.
