 The Mountain

There were two warring tribes in the

Andes, one that lived in the lowlands and
the other high in the mountains. The
mountain people invaded the lowlanders
one day, and as part of their plundering of
the people, they 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 where to find the
mountain people or how to
track them in the steep
terrain.
 Even so, they sent out their best party of
fighting men to climb the mountain and bring
the baby home.
The men tried first one method of climbing and
then another. They tried one trail and then
another. After several days of effort, however,
they had climbed only several hundred feet.
Feeling hopeless and helpless, the
lowlander men decided that the
cause was lost, and they prepared
to return to their village below.
As they were packing their gear
for the descent, they saw the
baby's mother walking toward
them. They realized that she was
coming down the mountain that
they hadn't figured out how to
climb.
 And then they saw that she
had the baby strapped to her
back. How could that be?
One man greeted her and
said, "We couldn't climb this
mountain. 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, "It wasn't your
baby."
