Once upon a time, in a dry land, a sweet woman named Naomi was very sad. She had lost her family and needed to travel back to her hometown of Bethlehem. Naomi told her kind daughter-in-law, Ruth, to stay behind where it was safe and familiar. But Ruth loved Naomi very much. She hugged Naomi tightly and made a beautiful promise: "Wherever you go, I will go. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God!"
