A woman in China who was a Christian went to visit a couple who had no children of their own. She found them happy because they had recently bought a four-year-old girl to raise as their own. They told the woman that there was one thing about the little girl that puzzled them. Before she would eat food, she always folded her hands, closed her eyes and said something.
The visitor knew at once that the little girl must have had a Christian upbringing. She then remembered that she had seen an advertisement about a lost girl in a Christian paper. The parents lived in a distant town.
She was finally able to find out where the little girl came from and that she was the missing child. She had been stolen and sold.
When the foster parents heard the facts, they returned the girl to her parents. What a happy time for both the little girl and her parents when they were together again.
