Son Who Was Born Late

There was a couple who had a son in their old age. But the old man was not sure what to name his son Then he went to an astrologer to choose a name. Knowing that the son was born in old age the astrologer named him Nomol. The old man gifted him a shawl and a silver coin. Fearing that he might forget the name the old man kept saying NomolNomol repeatedly while going back. On the way Nomol changed to Nemel.

When he passed by the bank of the river a merchant had tied his boat there. As soon as the old man reached the merchants boat the merchant ordered the sailor to open the boat. As soon as the sailor started doing so he heard the old man saying Nemel Nemel (which in their language meant do not go in the boat). Hearing this the sailor told the merchant that an old man has forbidden us to open the sails of the boat. The merchant called the old man and asked him the reason for this. The old man thought that if he replied to the merchant he might forget his name so he kept on saying NemelNemel.

The merchant said in anger After staying here for so long I ordered the boatman to open the boat but this unfortunate man came from nowhere and is disturbing my auspicious journey. Tie his hands behind his back and beat him up badly.

After being beaten the old man forgot Nemel and instead started walking saying Nohobor Hol (these words mean handsome). At that time a man dressed in fine clothes passed by. He thought that he was being made fun of because he was wearing very flashy clothes. Thinking this he beat him hard with his stick.

The old man groaning in pain forgot the words nohobor hole and started crying and saying situtkoi ituhe sora (this is better than the other one). At that time two men suffering from goitre passed by. They thought he was making fun of their illness. Enraged they beat him until he fell on the ground. The old man somehow reached home groaning in pain. After reaching home he told his wife everything about the hardships he had to face. She said sadly

Okay whats done is done. Now tell me the name that the astrologer has told me.

The old man said I have forgotten the name because of the repeated blows I have been given.

Hearing this the old woman said What can we do if you have forgotten the name It doesnt matter. Let us end the matter of naming our son here. Now we should concentrate on cultivating our piece of land. Go and plant the nomoliya (soft) rice plant.

On hearing the word nomoliya the old man remembered his sons name Nomol. Then he angrily told his wife If you knew the name of the son why did you force me to endure so much torture and beating Saying this the old man started scolding his wife loudly. His anger was aroused when his wife apologized to him and then explained that she actually did not know the name that the astrologer had suggested. The old man also then realized his mistake. The old couple named their son Nomol and lived happily ever after.
