Throughout the night, Nikki, the young mother with her two young children in bed, was tossing and unable to sleep, thinking:

How can she keep it a secret that she is pregnant with a new baby growing inside her and not from her husband because he was a traveler in a foreign country?

Nikki had decided to end her life by falling into the river below the village.

She will leave the children with her mother in law who lives with them.

In the morning Nikki decided to tell her mother-in-law Areti of her terrible decision. Her loving and caring mother-in-law said:

Evil is not solved by evil, but only by good, we will work it out.

Her mother-in-law Areti had a farm on the outskirts of the village and within 20 days after she bleached and prepared it, the mother, child and mother-in-laq moved there. And they said in the village that they went out early to guard the wheat, and to be ready for the harvest.

Its been 5 months

Nikki gave birth and her mother-in-law assisted her as a midwife and began caring for the newborn.

After 25 days, her mother-in-law put the baby in a basket and went to the village square and left the basket on the roadside and hid nearby watching what would happen.

The baby woke up and started crying and two passers-by heard him scream and approached the basket in astonishment.

Mother-in-law Areti who was praying and hiding in her place jumped up, grabbed the baby and started to hug him saying to the passerby villagers:

"I wished to raise an orphan and God sent him to me.

His family should come looking for him.

And she held the child in her arms and went.

Let the villagers know that Areti of love and affection picked up an orphan child, so he grew up with her son's other children. Her son came back from traveling, and he asked his mother asked Areti.

Who's child is this? His mother replied:

- He is mine and I will raise him, because I found him lying in the street.

Nikki was touched by her mother-in-law's kindness and wiped her tears, before her husband, who accepted his mother Areti's decision to raise the orphan child, saw her.

The man no longer travels abroad, and the family gave birth to two more children and raised five boys together.

12 years later Areti died and after 40 days of burial a basil plant grew on her grave, which later became a tree where the birds camp.

Nikki, who knew the great good that her mother-in-law achieved, remained silent for years, and one day she decided to reveal the secret to her husband.

So she told him that this orphan child is her son!

Her husband answered her:

- Since my mother didn't condemn you, I forgive you too.

Like mother like son! Loving and caring!

These are the real Christians ... They have nothing but love and forgiveness in their hearts.
