A Muslim boy living in Morocco is allowed to fast at Ramadan for the first time on condition that, unlike the adults, he drinks water during the day. He travels to the mountains with his father and meets a young girl who helps him find a stream so that he can have a drink on this hot day. He is shocked to discover how difficult it is for this girl and the other mountain villagers to get water - but how can he help?
