Following back the stream with the children, Doudou finds the guelta. It looks like a large pool filled with green water.
“ How beautiful it is ! You have captured a lot of water with your little dam ! Doudou says.
- Yes answers the young girl, this water is very important for the people living in the oasis. Thanks to her, we can water the palm trees every day, harvest a lot of dates, and sell them in the city !
- Bravo ! says Doudou, you are the waterkeepers, it’s an important responsibility. ”
