    The scribe Ani sums up a mother's care for her baby and exhorted the son to honour his mother as she deserved:

    A heavy burden you were to her.
    After nine months of pregnancy you were born and she continued carrying you on her neck.
    Three years your mouth was on her breasts.
    She felt no nausea at your excrements.

    The instructions of Ani
