Once upon a time, in a village in the mountain, there has a mother. That mother born ten sons. That village was invaded. The father of ten sons was killed from the first they came. Ten sons joined in team against invaders in the mountain. The eldest son was the chief of the team. That team made invaders crazy many times. Invaders opened many battles but could not kill the team.

The chief of invaders ordered to arrest the mother. He said:

The old maid, you have to advise your sons to come back. I will make them a position. If not, I will kill you.

The mother looked straight into his eyes and said loudly:

You are brutal! Perhaps you also have a mother. Your mother will not teach you to betray your hometown. Being a genuine person, I also could not teach my sons to betray our hometown. 

Invaders roped the mother on a hill and ambushed around there to arrest her sons. They said to mother to stand up and call her sons, they will set free. The mother said:

All my sons! The sons of motherland! I represented for mothers, order you not to betray hometown.

The order of the mother is the order of the heart, the order of great love. That order spread through the mountains and forests. Invaders were scared. The sons have extra strength to fight. Invaders stopped her mouth. They put pine resin on her head and burned her. The fire burned an area.

When invaders gone out, villagers find the place that the mother died. They saw the mother’s heart still is hot and unchanged. The villagers buried her on a top of the hill. Every night, from the tomb, the mother’s heart still burned an area.

The spring comes in. From the tomb, the heart born a tree. A tree born flowers. Flowers was red that origined from the mother’s heart. These flowers bring a name are peony. These flowers represent for a mother who fight by heart.
