” Bahira said to
himself. He rubbed his eyes and
stretched his gaze over to where
the caravan was approaching. “
How
very strange indeed! No How very
wonderful!
” he shouted out as he
jumped up clicking his heels.
There in the distance Bahira could
see a solitary cloud floating in the
skies just above the caravan, not
moving any faster or slower. It
seemed that the cloud was shield-
ing someone from the sun. Bahira
watched in amazement. “
Yes!
” he
said to himself, “
That cloud is
shielding someone from the sun.
Look it follows the caravan wherev-
er it goes.
