Story of the fool who killed his son.

Somadeva Bhatta, active 11th century and Tawney, C. H. (Charles Henry)
There was once a foolish man, who was poor and had many sons. When one of his sons died, he killed another, saying, How could this child go such a long journey alone? So he was banished by the people, as being a fool and a criminal.
“Thus a fool is as void of sense and discernment as an animal. You have heard of the son-killer, now hear the story of the fool and his brother.”
