    <body><![CDATA[It has been decided that the two old women will be left behind. In the Alaskan wilderness, this means a certain death. All of The People are shocked, especially the to old women. But times are tough and there isn't enough food--the old women who only complain are simply a drag on the rest. The two old women are speechless as they watch the rest of the group pack up and move on without them. After recovering from the surprise, they make a decision: these two women will not die without a fight. And with that, they get up and begin tasks they haven't performed in years. It takes longer than it used to and it's much harder than ever, but the two old women find a way to survive. And the reult of their determintion surprises even them.<br/><br/>Lovely, moving story. The legend of the two old women is one of strength and hard work. It's a will to live when all others have given up on you and abandoned you. It's believing in yourself and relying on yourself. It's a good life lesson for anyone. ]]></body>
