Hunorio slept at the lap of the lady. The shirt of Hunorio was slightly opened. Upon seeing this, the lady started to cry. Hunorio asked the reason why she was crying. Then, the woman answered in tears, “I once had a son, and I gave him the other pair of my necklace”. Hunorio didn’t wait for her to finish the story of her mother and ran away realizing that she was her lost mother. He was full of embarrassment because the lady he fell in love with was his very own mother. He could hardly accept what had happened. Because of that sad event, he put himself inside a huge jar. He stayed there for a long period of time. He didn’t eat for he was afraid people will notice him if he gets out of the jar. Months and days passed but Hunorio remained still inside the huge jar.
