THE POWER OF LOVE
Once
upon a time in Mount
Andes, lives 2 tribes; one stays in the valley and one stays
in the mount. The two tribes are always in contradiction. One day, the tribe of
mount attacked the tribe of valley and took away all the stuff in the valley.
They destroyed the village of the valley and also kidnapped a cute baby and
took away to the mount.
The
people of the valley wanted to take revenge and took away the baby again. But
they didn’t know where the mount-tribe stayed. Even they didn’t know how to get
to the exactly place of the mount-tribe. But the tribe of valley kept trying to
take the baby back by commanding 15 best soldiers and knights of theirs.
Although
they were the best soldiers, they couldn’t climb up the mountain for it was too
high. They were so exhausted and finally they were in despair.
Finally,
they decided to go back to their place. But, when they got set to go home, they
saw a weak, thin and old mother of the kidnapped-baby bringing her cute baby
while climbing down the mountain. Of course, all of the soldiers and the
knights were so surprised.
They
wandered to know how could the mother climb the high mountain and took away her
baby. Then, one of the soldiers came and welcomed the mother while asking her :
Dear
mom, how could you do that? We know that you are only a weak and old mother.
Your are thin and you never get in the army. While, we are the best soldiers;
we are also strong and manly. How can you climb the mountain and take away the
baby? We are trying to climb it but we are in despair for we are so tired. We
are in labored to do that.
While
holding her breath, the mother answered wisely and tenderly. “YOU KNOW, I CAN
CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN AND TAKE BACK THE BABY FOR I AM THE MOTHER OF THE BABY. He
is my above all and I do love him very much. And you are so easy in despair
because you never become a mother”.
Then
finally, they go home together with their trump.
