Vegetarian
After she divided
The gills and scales for the crow and the cat
Head for the youngest girl
Tail for the smart son
Middle pieces
For husband and his friend,
She became vegetarian
Worried about being accused of the stench,
Washed hands again and again
Devout
Fasted
In answer to the question
Why haven’t you eaten?
Fasted in front of the innocence
Which asked “Do you want this, mother?
After fasting so many times
She became known as very devout.
