It was one of the hottest days of the dry season.  If we didn't see any rain soon, we would lose everything.

     One day when I was in the kitchen, I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking towards the forest. He was clearly trying to be as still as possible.   Several minutes after, he had gone into the forest, he ran out again, towards. the house.  This activity went on for an hour, walking carefully to the forest and running back to the house.  I really wanted to know what Billy was doing.

      Finally I followed him into the forest.  I found that he was holding a cup of water. He walked very carefully not to drop the water.
