It was an extremely awful struggle at this point, but she saved every one of the children.

Yes, even after this, he was kidnapped at one point by Taichung people.

He was kidnapped.

And we would say, I think the correct word, we enslaved.

They put him into a kink, a yoke, like an ox would wear.

And so his two arms are in it and his head is in it.

And he's trapped in this thing.

And every night he would be taken to a different gear to be guarded by that family.

And one night there was a little celebration.

So most of the people are drinking.

And he's left with a boy who's not very smart.

And Temüjin managed to take the kank, the wooden yoke that he's trapped in, and use it as a weapon by turning it around very quickly and hitting the boy in the head, knocking him out.

That was one of the first lessons for the Mongols that anything that moves is a weapon.

This is gonna go on for generations, very important for the Mongols.

If it moves, it's a weapon.

He did that, he raced off in the night and he jumped into the river to hide.

He still got a kink on him.

He's still trapped under there.

The people are looking for him.

They come out and they're up and down the river and he's hiding underneath the water for the most part, trying to breathe as best he can.
