Harun was travelling with a huge caravan through the desert. Suddenly, a sandstorm hit the caravan and everything was engulfed in sand. Thrown off his camel, Harun was separated from the others and completely lost. It was afternoon, and the sun was torturously hot. ‘I must walk and find an oasis,’ thought Harun. With each step, he grew more and more thirsty. Suddenly, in the shimmering heat of the desert, Harun saw water! He ran towards it, but it seemed to move farther away. Gasping for breath, Harun realised that it was a mirage. His lips were parched and his eyes could hardly stay open. “Water,” he croaked, before fainting. When Harun woke up, he could not believe his eyes. He was in an oasis! A kind merchant had rescued him. Harun thanked him and said, “If it hadn’t been for you, I would never have survived the journey through the desert!”
