"A condensed version of this novel originally appeared in 'Playboy magazine'"--Colophon.
The trouble at Um Khalid began with the workmen. When they built the new road, they forgot about the rains. They made a small passage for men and animals. But they forgot about the water in the rainy season. That year, the rains began earlier than usual. And it rained heavily. Only one man saw the danger... but he was too late.
