As the story goes, there lived a grandmother alone on a remote snow-covered mountain. She cherished her solitude, finding solace in the pristine beauty of the snow-clad landscape. The days passed quietly as she went about her routines, tending to her humble abode.
One fateful day, her descendants, who had not visited her for years, decided to pay her a surprise visit. Unbeknownst to the grandmother, they had chosen to visit her on the day of a lunar eclipse, known as "Pournami." This eclipse had special significance in their family, but it had slipped her mind.
The eclipse darkened the day and the frigid mountain surroundings, and her descendants arrived at her doorstep. Overjoyed by their unexpected presence, the grandmother welcomed them inside her cozy home. However, in her excitement and distraction, she had forgotten to stock up on sufficient water for their stay.
Realizing this, and knowing that water was essential for their comfort and survival, one of the young men among the three couples decided to take matters into his own hands. With determination, he gathered the necessary tools and ventured out into the wintry landscape.Â
The snow was deep, and the winds were biting, but the young man braved the elements to fetch water for his beloved grandmother and the family. He filled containers and carried them back, his heart warmed by the thought of helping his family and ensuring their comfort during their visit.
