I was in the kitchen that day when I saw my son, Billy, walking toward the . Trying to be as still as possible, he was obviously walking with great . Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house. Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that way toward the woods. I couldn’t take it any longer and I him.

He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very not to spill (溢出) the water he carried.

As I came closer, I saw the most surprising sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. But the deer did not hurt him nor move as Billy knelt down.

All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved another.
