Time was when the ground dried up and rainstorms were only a memory. The wind kept blowing
away clouds, the sun seared the land and folks wondered why their fields and streams had
been dry so long. Then a terrible wall of dust swept across the
landscape, turning day into night. In front of the wall ran a desperate boy, Drylongso.
With him came hope for a better time.
