This tale takes place long ago when there was universal understanding among all the peoples of all nations.

Kavar was a poor girl during these times. Brother, Kavin, was a kind child whose most notable quality was his hopefulness. Because this duo played so well together, they were allowed much freedom. It was considered OK for them to be off on their own for hours as they had no toys, only their imaginations for entertainment. One fall, in late September, they left for an early morning outing together. What should've been an ordinary trip became an adventure when brother slipped off the trail and fell down the hillside. Sister looked around and she immediately sees that she needs help to rescue her brother.

Unu, their grandmother, the unchangeable one, senses that something is wrong with the children. Not due to be home yet, she still knows that they need help. She takes Duke, their trusty dog and heads out on horseback the way she believes they went. Soon she finds Kavar running towards her. Reaching the side of Nully, grandmother's horse, she explains how her brother has slipped down the hillside. "He said it would be OK if I left him, but I should not have left him alone. You probably think I am very naughty for leaving my brother!" "No, I just want him to be OK" Grandmother answered.

Grandmother and Kavar round the bend and find Kavin standing on the trail. He is smiling and holding onto a pouch overflowing with coins. "I was so worried about you" exclaimed Kavar. Grandmother smiled and said "I should have known that things would turn out well for 'he who is hoping'".
