Story: The aged mother

The mother picked twigs from the brushes they passed by, and quietly dropped a handful every few steps of the way.
6.Why do you think the farmer's burden seem light on his way down the
mountain?
The farmer's burden seemed to be light because his mother's attempts for his safe return and his decision to return with her gave him moral strength.
7. How did the farmer make the rope of ashes? Whose suggestion was it?
His mother told him to make a rope of twisted straw and then stretch it upon a row of flat stones and burn it on a windless night.
8. What do you think is the meaning of the line "with the crown of snow, there cometh wisdom"?
