The Rescue Mission

Everyone was sitting on a sofa drinking a very delicious tea.

- The Story started sixty years ago. We were normal people. Our small town was full of joy and laughter until one day one of the farmers found gold in the river. One by one, the other farmers left their jobs and joined him to search for more gold. It was like a fever. No one left in town, even women and children joined too.

After a while, we got a big amount of gold, but all the fishs in the river died because of the water pollution. Also, fruit trees and crops were completely destroyed due to neglect, we didn't find anything to eat. So, we tried to buy food with that gold, but because of the drought there was not enough food. the other towns refused to sell us more food which drag our town to famine.

The old lady stopped for a moment and took a sip of tea. Aaron felt her sadness despite her stiff expression.

- What did happen after that.

- We took the lesson in the hard way, the gold can't buy everything, especially when people started dying and disease spread all over the place. We were looking miserably at the piles of gold without being able to do anything. Until one day a man came in town and saw our catastrophic situation. He offered to help us and asked for a price. We gave him all of our gold, but he refused. He said that he want our emotions, in return he will finish the famine and made food abundant.
