Rodney and his fellow villagers faced a severe drought, one year. They desperately waited for rains but with no luck. There was no water anywhere. All the crops, land and even the trees dried up. The cattle started dying. People had to go far away to a stream to get water. As there was no rain, the stream was drying up slowly. Then one night, during a meeting with the villagers, Rodney said, “Friends, we all have heard tales from our grandparents about an underground river flowing through our village. Why don’t we dig and see?” The villagers agreed and started digging. They dug for some days but gave up soon. However, Rodney kept on digging. When people told him to give up, he said, “God is helping and guiding my way.” Then, one day, when he had dug deep enough, Rodney saw water. His perseverance saved the whole village. “Don’t give up easily,” Rodney advised all the villagers and their children.
Don’t Give up
