Mungo and Mara were among the few survivors after an avalanche struck their village in the Himalayas. The brother and sister were only ten and eleven years old when all of their adult relatives were lost in the catastrophe. The rescue teams entrusted Mungo and Mara to the Henry Dunant Foundation in Europe, which was experienced in finding new homes for displaced children.
They were moved from their homeland of high mountains half way across the globe to our country with it's lower mountains, it's hilly landscapes and it's flatlands. They were placed in foster families until they thought they might like to go back to their home country.
Mungo had learnt much from his grandfather in the Himalayan mountains, and Mara had learnt a lot from her grandmother in her Himalayan village.
In his new country Mungo was adopted by a small family in a small hilly region, with a small house and a small garden surrounded by fields and not far from a tumbling stream. In this family there were two brothers living with both parents.
In her new home Mara was adopted by a small family in the next town. They lived in an apartment in a housing block, with no garden but a least a park around the corner. Mara shared a room with two sisters. The mother lived in the next room, and the father did not live there any more.
And so Mungo taught the boys to build tree houses, and the boys taught Mungo to ride a bike.
And so Mara taught the girls how to look after the bushes in the park, and the girls taught Mara how to tie her hair like a film star.
And so Mungo taught the boys to fly wild kites across the hills,
and the boys taught Mungo how to play football.
And so Mara taught the girls how to cure the eyes of blind newly born cats, and the girls taught Mara how to apply face make up.
And so Mungo taught the boys how to divert the flowing water in the streams, and the boys taught Mungo how to use the smartphone.
And so Mara taught the girls how to stay dry during storms, and the girls taught Mara how to use an umbrella as a sunshade.
And so Mungo taught the boys how to dry the hay for winter food for the animals, and the boys showed Mungo how to skateboard in the park.
And so Mara taught the girls how to pack all of their belongings into a very small suitcase, and the girls taught Mara how to open the packages from the supermarket.
And so Mungo taught the boys how to look after the sheep in the fields,
and the boys taught Mungo how to avoid the foulings of dogs in the street.
And so Mara taught the girls how to save water during the dry season,
and the girls taught Mara how to use the dishwasher.
This way the new families of Mungo and Mara learnt about the wild world in a far off land, and Mungo and Mara learnt about life among us.
