True Valor
The oldest sacred fire in India has moved house many times: to caves, forests and towns, carried by priests who never let it go out.
Most sacred things stay put. A temple is built and there it stands. A river runs where it has always run. The fire in this story did neither.
It has moved house at least seven times in eight hundred years. It has lived in a cave and in a forest. It has never once gone out.
The rest of this story, read aloud, and a new one every day.
