The Call of Water
The Himalayas
Please… sensei… …stop…
I can´t…. continue… anymore
I CAN'T BREATHE... THE AIR IS SO THIN UP HERE, AND I AM REALLY COLD!
We’ve arrived Wait! What did you say? My feet hurt, I can’t feel my hands… my head is about to explode… And why am I carrying these logs??
We’ve arrived.

Finally! What legandary ninja are we going to meet here?
…what? So why on earth did we walk all the way up here??
Here? Do you think anyone would live here? WE ARE DEEP IN THE HIMALAYA'S, WHERE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ANYONE TO LIVE. THE AIR IS THIN AND IT CAN GET VERY COLD.
Do you know why mountains are so important, even sacred, for humans and all living beings…?
Well, yes…. But what do they provide us?
Emmm… becausee they are huge and magnificent… they remind us HOW SMALL WE ARE... THEY HELP TO HUMBLE US TOWARDS NATURE
…beautiful pictures for memories?
Water. Mountains are where rivers are born.

I love her!! She is so beautiful!! I can’t believe this is really happening…
Perhaps…
Well… it’s not happening just yet… You’ll need to find her… somewhere along the indus river.
This is the indus river.
That’s what the logs are for. You’ll need to raft the river.
