Rain obscured the Georgia country road. Jody, driving a stolen truck, braked suddenly for a white-uniformed hitchhiker who climbed into the cab gasping, “My car broke down!”\ “You a doctor?” “Right.” “The asylum?” asked criminally insane Jody, who’d just fled from there. “Yes,” lied murderous William, who’d just escaped from prison.

The young farmer could not lie. “My lord,” he began slowly, “for the past two years I have broken the law of the land. I have kept my aged mother hidden beneath the floor of my house, and it is she who solved each of your problems and saved the village from Lord Higa.” He trembled as he spoke, for he feared the lord’s displeasure and rage. Surely now the soldiers would be summoned to throw him into the dark dungeon. But when he glanced fearfully at the lord, he saw that the young ruler was not angry at all. Instead, he was silent and thoughtful, for at last he [the young lord] realized how much wisdom and knowledge old people possess. From The Wise Old Woman Retold by Yoshiko Uchida
