In search of water, they walked on. Through the red dust hills and triple digit temperatures. When their party set out they numbered several dozen. One more drops, leaving only five.

He knew what was coming and quickly got to his feet as he whispered to the others, with a smirk on his face, “water.” He shouted, “WATER!” And everyone wept.
