The Great Mwokozi Luka Repic & Michael Maly

Once upon a time, a poor man named Maskini was riding his beloved camel, Ngami, through the hot and dry Sahara desert. Maskini was on his way to see his family in Sudan after ten years of traveling around Africa. Maskini had visited almost all African countries in the Sahara desert and was traveling home to finally see his family. During his journey, Ngami was his main use of travel. Ngami did everything for Maskini, such as carrying his supplies. There wasn’t another camel in the world that Maskini would want for his journey. As Maskini was approaching the final days of his journey, he started to feel drowsy. Maskini hadn’t eaten or drank water for a whole week. He thought he would be able to make it to Sudan the rest of the way without stopping. He ran out of water and had very little food left. Maskini was about 100 miles from the border of Sudan and needed to travel about 300 miles into Sudan to reach his family. This would be a five-day journey for Maskini and Ngami. Maskini started to realize he wouldn't make it, and he knew there wasn't civilization for another 175 miles. He needed help and he needed it now. There were no bodies of water near him, so water wasn't an option. Maskini felt dehydrated and couldn’t continue traveling. He prayed and prayed that he would get water and food soon. He then collapsed to the ground with Ngami by his side and slept through the night. While sleeping, the strangest thing occurred. Maskini had a dream about this mysterious man walking through the desert. The man came up to him and whispered to him in a mysterious voice, “Wewe ni sawa.” Shocked, Maskini replied, “Wewe ni nani.”
