Syracuse

There is no rain in sight and Moko is worried. He decides to go and ask the advice of an old wise man who is said to be part magician, part sorcerer. Further confused by the wise man’s explanations, Moko heads nevertheless for the sand dunes. Far in the distance he sees a strange apparition: a cluster of trees around a small lake. He starts to run towards the apparition but no sooner has he begun his run that he can no longer see his destination. Disappointed, he sits on a rock and rests. A woman carrying a jug full of water on her head walks over to him and explains that he simply has to look in the right direction, and there, in the distance Moko sees the lake once again. He decides to head for it while never losing sight of it this time. On his way back to his village, he drops a trail of leaves to be able to return to the lake, but the wind quickly wipes away all of the leaves. Moko thinks that the desert shared a great secret with him and that it is best to keep it to himself.
