I reckon I found out what you wanted, didn’t I?” “You’re a Service bug,” smiled Jerry, who had lost all signs of being uneasy. “I bet you’ll be an engineer all your life.” “Well, I think I must go now,” he said, rising slowly. “Yes, just that. In other parts of the country this water is provided by rainfall. But deserts are deserts only because the rainfall is slight, if there is any at all.
