Waiting For A Life

The girl, now grown up into a young woman watches a rich stranger in a car and prays to the Gods that she can join him in the car and escape her peasant life for more.
The Gods listen to her prayer and decide how to respond. Agwe (The God of Water) decides to send her on a journey where the rich and poor meet.
