In the heart of a peaceful countryside where golden fields stretched like a soft blanket over rolling hills, there lived a clever farmer named Cutis. Known in the village for his quick thinking and kind heart, Cutis was not just an ordinary farmerâhe had a special bond with nature and animals, and a unique way of solving problems without always relying on modern tools.
One sunny morning, as Cutis was tending to his vegetable garden, a young boy named Kiri came running down the dirt road, shouting breathlessly, âFarmer Cutis! Please help! My mother is in painâsheâs going to have the baby, but thereâs no medicine, and the clinic is too far away!â
Cutis immediately dropped his tools. âWhere is she now?â
âAt our house, she canât stand up, and Papa went to town, but the road is blocked by a fallen tree!â
Without a second thought, Cutis grabbed his bag of herbal supplies, slung a rope over his shoulder, and followed Kiri through the winding path to their home. His mind racedânot with panic, but with sharp calculations. He knew this birth had to be handled carefully, but without access to a doctor or medicine, he would have to rely on every bit of his natural knowledge and wisdom.





This was serious. A breech birth without medical assistance could be dangerousâbut Cutis remained calm. He had studied animal births on his farm for years, assisting cows, goats, and even a wild deer once. And now, he would use that knowledge for a human life.
Cutis washed his hands in boiled water, then knelt beside Mala. He spoke to her softly, assuring her she was not alone. âWe will do this together. I need you to trust me.â
He gently massaged her belly with warmed mustard oil, a traditional remedy to relax muscles and encourage the baby to shift. Then he performed a maneuver heâd used many times with his pregnant goatsâslowly, carefully turning the baby inside her using rhythmic movements and applying gentle pressure at key points.
Mala gasped but nodded, following his instructions. âBreathe deep, Mala. Thatâs it. Youâre strong. Your baby is strong too.â
After a few tense minutes, Cutis felt the baby begin to turn. He smiled. âYes⌠yes⌠the head is coming now. We did it.â
As the contractions grew stronger, Cutis used herbal compresses made from turmeric and holy basil to ease Malaâs pain and reduce the risk of infection. These ancient remedies, passed down through generations, had once been laughed atâbut here, in this moment, they were lifesaving.
With Kiriâs help, Cutis helped Mala push, guiding the baby into the world. At last, with a final cry, a healthy baby girl was born. She wailed strongly, and Mala burst into tearsâtears of relief, joy, and exhaustion.
Cutis quickly cleaned the newborn, wrapped her in soft cloth, and placed her in Malaâs arms. âYou did it,â he said with a warm smile. âYour daughter is beautifulâand healthy.â
The little house was filled with the sweet sound of new life. Kiri beamed with pride. âYouâre a hero, Cutis! You saved Mama and my baby sister!â
But Cutis shook his head humbly. âNo, your mother is the hero. I just helped nature do what it knows best. Sometimes, the smartest method is to listenâto the body, to the earth, to the heart.â




Word spread fast throughout the village. People came from far and wide to hear the story of how Cutis saved a pregnant woman without a single pill or injection. The elders praised his calm thinking. The children listened wide-eyed as Kiri told the story over and over.
Even the village doctor, who arrived late due to the blocked road, was deeply impressed. âYouâve done what many trained people might not manage,â he told Cutis. âYou combined traditional wisdom with courage and care. Thatâs rare.â
Over the next few weeks, Mala recovered well under Cutisâs continued watch. He prepared herbal teas to help her regain strength and taught Kiri how to care for the baby. Cutis didnât ask for anything in return. Helping others was simply part of who he was.
The village council held a special gathering in Cutisâs honor. Children painted signs that read, âCutis the Hero!â and âSmartest Farmer in the Land!â A local musician even composed a song about the day he saved a mother and baby with his clever, gentle ways.
As the sun set on the celebration, Cutis stood under a banyan tree, holding the tiny baby girl. He whispered to her, âYour name should be Hope. Because you remind us that even when things seem impossible, with love and calm thinking, we can always find a way.â
From that day on, Cutis was not just a farmerâhe was a symbol of wisdom, courage, and heart. And though he never sought fame, the story of the time he saved a pregnant mother without medicine lived on for generations, inspiring others to believe in the power of kindness, nature, and smart thinking.
