we met a young man walking

In search of immediate

their other children and

for three days.

00:57.457 --> 01:00.326 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100%
If he did not get
something for them at once,

01:00.326 --> 01:02.529 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100%
she and the baby would die.

it helped establish
a trust and respect
