    African scene

    The scene is one of migrating wildebeest gathering restlessly on the shores of the great Mara river. Distant rain can be heard. On the other side of the bank lays the prospect that once parched and barren earth has been turned to lush and fertile pasture. It has always been this way. But remnants of earlier pioneers lay scattered around the riverbank and the majority wait hungry as their numbers swell to epic proportions. There is safety in numbers, but danger and the rewards less too, and when the move happens it will occur brutally and swiftly. All look to each other and wonder when the stampede will start.
