A young man named Raul visited a dry, hot spot in
Arizona. The sun was bright, and it beat down on
the soft, pale sand. Raul began to sweat. There
were no animals or birds anywhere in sight.
There was no water, only tumbleweeds and tall
cactuses. Ten years later, Raul took his young
son to visit the same area. It was very hot.
Birds sat on the cactuses, and small animals
scurried around. This time, Raul saw a small
pool of water. He saw more tumbleweeds and
cactuses than on his first visit.
