Hearing the answer , believe it Kweiya mother . Meanwhile , Kweiya requested that his mother prepare food that much . Apparently , Kweiya intends to invite the old man who ate together at once introduced him to his mother .
"Mom , tomorrow please prepare a lot of food , " pleaded Kweiya .The next day , the mother Kweiya cook enough food . Meanwhile , Kweiya want to make a surprise for her .

After that , he went into the house and as if feeling very thirsty . He also asked his mother to fetch a cane to satisfy their thirst ."Mom , I'm thirsty . Bring me a cane in front of the door , "pleaded Kweiya .
Kweiya mother had obeyed his request . When the mother opened the package leaves of sugarcane , he was very surprised to find an old man lying in a bundle . Instantly , she screamed in terror as he ran into the hut ." Kweiya , who the old man ? Why he was in that package ? "Asked her mother surprised .Kweiya smiled and reassured her .
" I'm sorry , ma'am , " said Kweiya . " I did not mean to scare her. Actually , that's an old man who has helped me cut down trees in the forest . I beg she will accept it as a life partner ! "
