The Water of Life⑴

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The creeks and streams were long gone back into the earth. It was a dry season that would bankrupt several farmers before it was through. Every day， my husband and his brothers would go about the tiring process of trying to get water to the farm. If we didn’t see some rain soon， we would lose everything.

It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed the only miracle I have seen with my own eyes. I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son， Billy， walking toward the woods. He wasn’t walking with the usual carefree abandon of a youth but with a serious purpose. I could only see his back. He was obviously walking with a great effort trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods， he came running out again toward the house. I went back to make sandwiches， thinking that whatever task he had been doing was completed.

Moments later， however， he was once again walking in that slow purposeful stride toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour： walking carefully to the woods， and then running back to the house. Finally， my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.

He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked， very careful not to spill the water he held. Maybe two or three tablespoons were held in his tiny hands. I sneaked closer as he went into the woods. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him， I saw an amazing sight. A mother deer with a huge pair of deer horns appeared in front of him， with a baby fawn （幼鹿） lying on the dry ground. I almost screamed to get him away.
