Centuries ago, an ancient kingdom was facing a national crisis. The drought had already destroyed what was left of the crops and, as all the reserves were close to exhaustion, the country was on the brink of famine. The king gathered his most trusted counsellors for a meeting at which they all expressed their defeat, except for one old council member who asked for a private audience with the king. The old man then went to him to seek the advice of an elderly couple who live on top of the kingdom's highest mountain and are known by the locals for their piety and wisdom.
