An amazing pony For countless generations, the Wa people in Burma passed on their ancient tradition that one day a white brother would bring them a copy of the book about God that they had lost. In the 1880 s, Pu Chan, one of their tribesmen, persuaded several thousand of his people to abandon headhunting and spirit-appeasement. If the brother learnt that the Wa people were doing evil things, he might consider them unworthy of the true God s book.
