- The desert was all sand in some stretches, and rocky in others. When the caravan was blocked by a boulder ,it had to go around it. If the sand was to fine for the animal's hooves, the found out a way in which it was substantial. In some places, the ground was covered with salt or dried water lakes .The animals balked at such places, and the camel drivers were forced to dismount themselves. If a guide died, then they would appoint one from a lot of people they have bought. But they still followed the star which leads to the oasis.

The land was ruined, and I had to find some other way to earn a living So now I'm a camel driver.

- It was only the Englishman who was unaware of all this; he was, for the most part, immersed in reading his books. The boy too, had his book, but he read only for the first days.

The boy noted that there was a sense of fear in the air, even though no one said anything .He was again experiencing the wordless language...the universal language.The immense collection of people and animals began to travel faster. The days and nights were silent. One day, the caravan leader made a decision that the fires should be no longer lighted , to avoid attention to the caravan.

- ''Are we in danger ?''
- ''You should pay more attention to the caravan. We make a lot of detours but we're always heading for the same goal.
- The travelers adopted the practice of arranging the animals in a circle at night, sleeping together in the center as protection against the nocturnal cold. And the leader posted armed sentinels at the fringes of the group. The Englishman was unable to sleep one night. He called to the boy, and they took a walk along the dunes surrounding the encampment. There was a full moon, and the boy told the Englishman the story of his life.
