When a young explorer arrived in a barren desert, he decided to embark on a marvelous adventure. He traversed several dunes, but soon realized he was disoriented. He began to feel anxious and uneasy, but he knew he had to maintain his composure and patience. He contemplated his next move and decided to proceed along the ridge of the dunes. Eventually, he reached the end of the desert and discovered an oasis. He was elated and rested there for a while. There, he met a sage who was both wise and humorous. The sage told him stories about his own survival in the desert and shared some of the survival skills he had learned. In the end, the explorer was filled with gratitude and decided to return home with his newfound knowledge and skills.
