Then on Sunday in the country we saw families with small children out walking 0r going places in a bullock cart, just as we set. families in their Sunday best on our streets or in automobiles on highways. In a dry, rather desolate place, we came upon two sisters going for Water with a water jug, A5 I snapped them the younger one. a bit con- cerned, turned to her older sister for security by clasping her wrist.

It was so very dry that we marvelled that grain could grow at all even with an attempt at irrigation from a stream that was already dried up when we saw it.
