So when the wise old woman comes of age to be banished her farmer son chooses to hide her in his home instead of sending her to die in the mountains.

Another evil lord wants to rule the village and the villages only hope is to save the impossible riddles and orders he gives them. But even the wise wisemen cant solve them.

Thefarmer son ask thewise old woman if she can solve these riddles, and she effortlessly solves every one. The other evil lord repeals his act to take down the village after the wisdom that they have shown. The farmer then admits to his ruler that his mother was the true one solving the riddles.
