One day, the village was struck by a terrible drought. The river that provided water for the fields had run dry, and the villagers were desperate. They turned to their local leaders, but no one could come up with a solution to bring water back to their fields.
Hearing of the plight of his fellow villagers, Gopal decided to step in. He approached the village leaders and offered his help. They were skeptical at first, as they thought Gopal’s solutions were often unconventional. However, given their desperation, they agreed to listen to him.
