FIRE IN OUR HEARTS
CITY ON A HILL
fat! What’s more, they built houses to keep themselves warm.
(Once they just huddled together.)
But some got sick, and arguments broke out about who owned
what. Then the water became stagnant and a film grew over
their eyes. The leaders were very worried and as they discussed
it together, there was a knock at the door. The Ruler of
Kingdomland stood before them. How had they managed to forget
him? A silence fell as they gazed into his face. He was angry,
but there were tears in his eyes.
‘What have you done to my beautiful land?’ he asked quietly.
They bowed their heads in shame.
‘My little people, I fear that the blindness of Sinfulgloom has
come upon you.’ His words made them sad, and before long
they were all crying. As they wept, their eyes became clear
again. ‘Now see what I will do! Gather everyone together on
the highest hills!’
The tears flowed into the night as the little people came together
and looked on the land they had spoiled. Then suddenly
the night sky was torn by great flashes of lightning. The rains
came down, and the channels swelled, until with an almighty
crash the dam burst open and the swirling torrent swept everything
away before it.
As the morning sun crept over the land they saw it was beautiful
and fresh as once before.
