Then a member of the Asian-American Association (AAA) came along, reading a statement to the vigilers that transformed their enthusiasm into sickly panic, leaving them with grave doubts for the following day.

If the orchards do not get sufficient water by spring, the remaining trees will die. The whole economy is on the brink of collapse...
