Long ago, there was a boy named Malin. He lived in a small village by the sea. He lived with his mother. They loved each other very much.

Malin was a good boy. He liked to help his mother. He worked hard every day. His mother was very happy.

One day, Malin had a dream. He wanted to see the world. He wanted to earn money. His mother listened carefully.

"I want to travel far away," said Malin. His mother felt sad. But she wanted Malin to be happy. She let him go.

Many years passed. Malin became a rich man. He had a beautiful ship. He also had a lovely wife.

One day, Malin sailed back home. His ship stopped near the village. The villagers came to see it. Everyone was excited.

Malin's mother heard the news. She ran to the beach. She smiled with joy. "My son is home!" she said.

His mother saw Malin. She wanted to hug him. She was very happy. Tears filled her eyes.

But Malin felt embarrassed. He did not smile. He did not greet his mother. He turned away from her.

"This is not my mother," said Malin. His mother was shocked. She felt very sad. Her heart was broken.
