A mother gives her life for her son

Many years ago, there was a lonely woman walking home in a cold snowstorm. The storm became so intense that the woman decided to lay down in the hollow of a rock. There she covered her tiny baby boy with every ounce of clothing she had on. When the rescuers found the mother, she had died from exposure to the cold. However, when the men uncovered the garments, the tiny baby boy was still alive! The mother, realizing that she would die, gave everything she had to see that the warmth of her body and her clothing would save her son. Joy filled the hearts of the rescuers to see the little boy shivering, but alive. Years later, that child, David Lloyd George, grew to become the Prime Minister of Great Britain, one of the greatest statesmen of all time. (Source Unknown).
