One day the ship was caught in a storm and crashed on the rocks of a desert island. Those who were saved began a new life, since during the shipwreck everyone’s memory was impaired, a manifestation of which was also the fact that they forgot the words of the prayer.
A few years later, Christian missionaries arrived on the island. After asking the inhabitants of the island about their lives, they taught them to pray correctly. And when the missionaries sailed from this island, after a while they noticed people from the island following them on the water. It turned out that they had again forgotten the words of the prayer and wanted to learn them again.
The missionaries, seeing the locals walking on the water, replied:
- Pray as they prayed before us. This way you are probably closer to God.
