But one year, the soil turned dry, the trees lost their leaves, mothers could no longer have children and the kids grew with sickness.

One night, the old shaman gathered everyone in the square. She said, with her holy: ‘We must call Umay Ana. Since she left us, the land lost its life, mothers suffered and children felt ill. Only she can help us.’ As day turn to night, mothers placed their sick children in cradles under the ancient tree.
