Jay and Lila took their turn, sighting up the corner, marveling at the dead-straight line and the perfectly square angle.

“Oh, Lord,” Dr. Cooper found himself praying, “what is it? What does it mean?”

But now Dr. Henderson was carefully surveying the ground and the rocky strata the ditch had cut through. “Dr. Cooper. I don’t think I have any good news for us or the Motosas. There’s nothing here to indicate any kind of water table or aquifer.”

The Motosas standing nearby did not fully understand her words, but they could understand her somber tone. They fell silent, wanting to know what she was saying.

“So you’re saying … ?” Dr. Cooper asked.

“I’m saying there is no water here,” she replied.

The chief seemed to understand what she was saying and touched her arm. Then he spoke, and Bengati translated. “You see with only one set of eyes and see only what is, not what can be.”

Dr. Henderson didn’t want to argue with their host. “I suppose that’s right,” she agreed. Then she muttered to Dr. Cooper, “I suppose he can predict what the geological forces will do next.”

Then Chief Gotono turned to Jay and Lila with a sparkle in his eye. Bengati translated as the chief asked them, “Do you see with other eyes? Do you see the water flowing to our village?”

Well, of course they didn’t, but they thought they understood his meaning.
