Description:		There are two stories told by DSF. They are both about cycles that resemble the concept of karma. In the first story a woman dies leaving her husband and son alone. They suffer from poverty and lack someone who can cook for them, so the father tells the son to hurry up and get married. The son does this, but his wife has no patience for the elderly man. She convinces the son to get rid of his elderly father. The murdering son is cursed, and later in life his own son gets married and the same was going to happen to him. However, his son did not kill him, breaking the chain of the curse. In the second story, a man dies leaving his wife and son alone. The child is nasty and kills his mother. Later in life he wants to repent. The priest makes him haul around and care for a gourd jug in which he puts all of his food. The priest makes him care for the gourd for a long time, and it grows very large. Then he is sent to the church to tell the people what he did. After he confesses to the whole village, the jug cracks open and out pops a snake that eats him. So he suffers the same fate as his mother; Something he cared for and raised killed him.
