Excerpts

One night Lila over heard her mama talking about the well that had dried up and the crops that were failing.

"Without water there can be no life," Lila heard her mama say.



Lila wanted so much for the sun to stop shining and for the rain to come.

But the sun did not stop shining and the rain did not come.



One evening Lila' grandfather told her a story about a man that he'd met once when he was a boy - a man who had told him the secret of rain.

"You must climb the highest mountain," said the man to Lila's grandfather, " and tell the sky the saddest thing you know.
