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.

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. And then I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously thirsty, lift its head to lap up the water in my boy’s hands. When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a spigot (水龙头). Billy opened it and let the drip slowly up his “cup”.

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.
