In India, there is a vast golden desert. This desert is like a picture scroll painted by nature with golden pigments. Looking from afar, the sand waves roll and blend with the sunset glow on the horizon.
On the edge of the desert, there is a small village, and in the village lives a little boy named Raja. Although Raja is young, he is full of curiosity and awe towards this desert. His father is an experienced desert guide and often tells Raja various stories about the desert.
One day, Raja's father was going to lead a caravan to cross the desert. Raja was eager to go together. Looking at his eager eyes, his father finally agreed. Before setting off, the father and son carefully looked at the map in the tent. The father pointed to those crooked lines on the map and told Raja where there were water sources and where it was easy to get lost. Raja listened attentively, with excitement shining in his eyes.
Their caravan set off in the early morning. The camels carried the goods and walked into the desert with steady steps. At the beginning, Raja was full of freshness towards everything around him. Looking at those sand dunes of different shapes, he thought they were like huge castles.
However, the weather in the desert is unpredictable. Suddenly, a huge cloud of sand rose on the horizon, like a black wall pressing towards them. It was a sandstorm! People in the caravan began to panic, and the camels neighed uneasily. But Raja's father was very calm. He loudly directed everyone to form the camels into a circle, and then let everyone hide behind the camels and cover their mouths and noses with cloth to prevent the sand from entering. Raja held his father's arm tightly, extremely frightened in his heart. But looking at his father's firm eyes, he gradually calmed down as well.
The sandstorm lasted for a long time. When it finally passed, many things in the caravan had been blown away, and some camels had also strayed. There was also very little water and food left for everyone.
But they didn't give up. Relying on years of experience, Raja's father led everyone to walk in one direction. He told everyone that according to the wind direction and the shape of the sand dunes, he could sense that there was a water source nearby. Raja also tried hard to help. Although he was tired and thirsty, his heart was full of hope. In this way, they walked forward with great difficulty in the desert step by step.
Finally, they saw a small oasis. There were clear water sources and some green plants in the oasis. Everyone cheered, and the camels also ran excitedly towards the water. Raja ran to the water, scooped up a handful of water. The water was cool and sweet. He thought it was the most wonderful water he had ever drunk.
After resting in the oasis for a while, the caravan set off again and continued their journey. Eventually, they successfully crossed the desert and reached their destination. During this journey, Raja learned a great deal of knowledge about the desert and also learned to stay calm in the face of difficulties and never give up. He knew that as long as there was hope in his heart, he could overcome any difficulty, just like this golden desert, which was full of challenges but also full of vitality and hope.
