of a child. It is said that there once lived a young child, long time ago; amongst the people of the valley
and the mountains.
The child had heard of a magical land, beyond the mountains. Stories of large birds that flew the people
over the land, the rivers whose waters made music. The trees that grew to the sky; and would bend so that the fruit could be plucked by man.
The child longed to see that land, beyond the two mountains; was it true?
The day came when the child crossed the mountains to find out what lay beyond.
He found nothing. He had stopped being a child. The child had grown up.
The innocence of a child had been lost. The child had become a man. And the land?
That is another story, for another time. Does it exist? Ask any child.
