it started to rain, then it stopped, and then it started to rain gain.
the man walked along the road to the town of b————.
he had put his hat on when it started to rain and taken it off when the rain stopped and then put it back on when the rain resumed.
the man had blue eyes and naturally fair skin which had been tanned almost to the color of a “native’s”.
he was familiar with the road and walked along it with his head down.
the rain stopped again and the clouds went away and the sun rose in the sky.
he kept his hat on to protect his head from the sun.
he had been instructed to look inconspicuous ,so he did not carry anything except a small canteen of water under his shirt.
when he was halfway to the town of b——— -, he took the canteen from under his shirt, and took a long drink from it.
i needed that, he thought, but i better be careful.
a car came along, and offered him a ride.
he politely declined, as he had been instructed to do.
the sun continued to beat down.
further along, he took another drink of water, being careful to leave some in the canteen.
the sun finally began to set.
when he was a mile from the town, he collapsed.
there was no record of his ever reaching b———-.
