Naye’s family lives near Ethiopia’s Lower Omo River. When I went to the river to get some water, Naye followed me there. Grabbing my arm protectively, he pointed out a crocodile, then took my pail and filled it for me in the muddy river. He then walked over to a bush, broke off a branch, and used it to stir the dark-brown liquid. Within seconds the mud settled, leaving crystal-clear water. Galeb Tribe
