Read an interesting story and find I must record it so as edify and encourage one another.
There were two warring tribes in the Andes, one that lived in the lowlands and the other high in the mountains.
One day, the mountain people invaded the lowlanders and kidnapped a baby of one of the lowlander families and took the infant with them back up into the mountains.
The lowlanders didn't know how to climb the mountain. They didn't know any of the trails that the mountain people used, and they didn't know how to track them in the steep terrain.
The men tried first one method and then another, and one trail and then another. After several days of effort, they had climbed only several hundred feet.
Feeling hopeless and helpless, they decided that the cause was lost and prepared to return to their village below. As they were packing up to leave, they saw the baby's mother walking towards them.
They realised that she was coming down the mountain and they hadn't even figured how to climb. They also saw that she had the baby strapped to her back.
One man greeted her and asked, "How did you do this when we, the strongest and most able men in the village couldn't do it?
She shrugged her shoulders and said, ''Ít wasn't your baby."
