Answer:
There was drought in Rodney's village. Crops dried up and animals were dying.
There was no rain, so even the rivers dried up.
The village people came together and came up with a solution when Rodney brought up a story of their ancestors about an underground river flowing through their village.
They dug up, and when they were about to give up, Rodney kept digging til he found water.
Never give up.
Though the villagers were all willing to find water to end the drought, but when after digging for a long time and found no water, some started to lose hope.
