On the reddish plain, the juazeiros enlarged two green patches. The unfortunates had walked all day, they were tired and hungry. Ordinarily they walked little, but since he had rested a lot on the sand of the dry river, the journey had progressed well up to three leagues. They had been looking for a shadow for hours. The foliage of the juazeiro trees appeared in the distance, through the bare branches of the sparse caatinga.
