The Rain

Life in the bush is governed by the rain and the coming and going of the rainy season. The huge migrations of wildebeast and zebra are predicated on this, as is the survival of all life in the bush, human included. There is nothing so exciting as seeing a thunderstorm coming after several months of living out of a mudhole, boiling or filtering water and knowing that clean water is on the way and that your rainbarrel will be full of water and all of it drinkable! Water is more valuable than the gold which might lie at the end of this arc.
