In a country called Colombia, near the Andes mountain range, lived an indigenous tribe that had settled in those lands for many years. Its members were simple people who lived together peacefully, until one day the group of young people met in an assembly and made a terrible decision: to expel all the elderly from the village!

The arrogant boys declared that the old men had become a hindrance to the proper functioning of the community because they no longer had the strength to carry the bags of seeds and because their movements had become so clumsy that they needed help even to eat or wash. For these reasons, they assured, it was necessary to cast them out forever.

Only a good and generous boy named Llivan believed that a great injustice was being committed and he rebelled against others:
- Are you crazy ?! ... We can't do that outrage! We owe them everything we are, everything we own. They have always helped us and now we are the ones who must take care of them with love and respect.

Unfortunately, no one was moved and Llivan had to watch in horror as the elderly were forced to leave their homes.
- This is horrible! Nobody deserves to be treated like this.
When he saw them walking away from the village with their heads bowed and their feet shuffling, he decided that he could not sit idly by. Without stopping to think, he ran until he caught up with them.

- Wait, please wait! If you allow me, I will go with you so that you feel more secure and help you find a good place to live.
The older man smiled and accepted the proposal on his behalf and that of the others.
- Of course it is, Llivan. You are a good boy and not a scoundrel. We greatly appreciate your company and all the help you can provide us.

- Oh no, don't thank me! I feel that it is my duty, but I assure you that I do it with pleasure.
Llivan took the lead and led them into a warm and beautiful valley surrounded by mountains. It took several hours, but it was worth it.
- This is the place chosen to set up the new town! The land is fertile, ideal for farming. In addition, it is crossed by a river in which we can fish daily. Isn't that perfect?
The oldest recognized that the choice was excellent.

- You have a good eye, Llivan. It is certainly a wonderful place. Llivan took a deep breath and filled his lungs with fresh air. - Well, what are we waiting for? ... Let's get to work!

For weeks the boy worked at a frenetic pace, building houses of mud, wood and straw during the day, and making hunting and fishing gadgets by firelight at nightfall. He was the only one with the physical strength to carry out the toughest tasks, but the elders, who had the wisdom and experience of a lifetime, also did their bit by directing the works.
