A tradesman was leading a caravan (商队) to another country to sell his goods. Along the way they came to the edge of a hot-sand desert. They learnt that during the daytime the sun heated up the fine sand until it was as hot as charcoal (木炭), so no one could walk on it — not even camels! Then the caravan leader hired a desert guide, one who could follow the stars, so they could travel only at night when the sand cooled down. The guide sat on the first cart. And they began the dangerous night-time journey across the desert. A couple of nights later, after eating their evening meal and waiting for the sand to cool, they started out again.
Later that night, the desert guide, who was driving the first cart, saw from the stars that they were getting close to the other side of the desert. He had been very tired, so when he relaxed, he fell asleep. Then the camels who, of course, couldn’t tell directions by reading the stars, gradually turned to the side and went in a big wide circle until they ended up at the same place that they started from! By then it was morning, and the people woke up and realized they were back at the same spot where they started. They lost heart and began to cry about their condition. Since the desert crossing was supposed to be over by now, they had no more water, and they were worried about there was nothing to drink, and were extremely afraid they would die of thirst. They even began to blame the caravan leader and the desert guide. However, the leader himself didn’t lose courage. He talked with the desert guide and then they began wandering, trying to work out a plan. Paragraph 1
Suddenly, the leader noticed a small clump (团) of grass. _____________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2

Suddenly, the leader notice a small clump of grass. So he was lost in thought: There must be water here. If there wasn’t water, the grass couldn’t live in the desert. Therefore, he asked his fellow travelers to dig up the ground on that very spot where the grass was. They dug and dug, and gradually they found a large stone. The guide jumped into the hole, put his ear to the stone, and heard the sound of flowing water. Paragraph 2
A spring (泉源) was found at last. All the people were extremely cheerful. They expressed their thanks to the leader. And then they hurried to drink water and cooked their food with it. Before they left, they raised a high flag so that other travelers could see the new spring in the hot-sand desert. Then they continued traveling safely to the end of their journey.
