You never know what you have until you've lost it. And you'll never know another life, until you walk the footsteps of a stranger. This story is about people-slaves-trapped in a mine, working until they die. One of the miners is a little boy, and he is taught by an elderly woman all the things about the world above where he lived. Eventually, the boy and women escape the awful mine and travel all over the world to go back to the woman's homeland.
