After a hot, dry summer, the villagers were scared.Their land was too dry.The planting had neared completion, but there was no rain yet.The crops were dying under the scorching hot sun.Even the rivers were almost dry.
The villagers feared they might not have enough food to last the winter.They needed crops to grow for nutrition and survival.Families needed to be careful not to waste food.Winter would be coming soon, and the food from last year’s harvest was running out.
A Trip
But after weeks passed with dry and sunny skies, the villagers could not wait for rain any longer.Then someone made a suggestion.One of the villagers had to leave to search for rain.
For this occasion, people in the village gathered around a fire.They dressed in bright clothes and danced to bring rain.The elders decided a boy named Len was the chosen one.He was to leave and find the cause of the drought.Len’s great-grandfather had found rain for the village years before.He had to find rain before returning home.The villagers hoped Len would be able to bring rain like his great-grandfather had years ago.
The village elders did not know how long it would take Len to find rain.Len himself feared he might not find an answer.But Len wanted to save his village.He did not care how hard the trip would be.
To support Len on his harsh trip, his sister, Minya, decided to go with him.Len and Minya took very little with them.They would be traveling a long way and did not want to carry much.
Before Len and Minya ventured off, the village elders gave Len a feather for good luck.The elders wished them a safe and fruitful trip like their great-grandfather’s trip had been years ago.
