A long, long time ago in an Indian village a baby girl was born. The village 

natives called it “Escondido,” which meant, “Hidden Valley.” It was a beautiful 

green valley. 

A long, long time ago in an Indian village a baby 

girl was born. The village natives called it 

“Escondido,” which meant, “Hidden Valley.” It was 

a beautiful green valley. 

The mother named her baby “Little-Drop-Of-Dew” 

because she was met with the dew from heaven 

every morning. This is the story of how Little-Drop-

of-Dew saved her village.

The tribe of Little-Drop-of-Dew found out she was 

a very special baby. Every time she cried, it began 

to rain. They were glad Little-Drop-of-Dew was a 

part of their tribe. When she cried, it rained and 

watered their crops. They had much more food 

than other tribes. Their crops grew big and strong 

from so much rain.

One day, Inyau, the big spirit of the Sun, grew angry. He 

looked down and saw many people that did not get 

along. They did not treat other people nice. There were 

fights and people hurt each other with their words. This 

made Inyau upset. 

He began to get a sad face. Then His sad face turned into 

a mad face. He wanted the people to get along and be 

nice. So he decided to burn very hot sun rays onto them 

until they quit being mean to one another.

Inyau breathed fire all day and all night. He did not sleep 

for many days. Many days turned into many months. The 

crops and animals began to die. The hot sun dried up the 

river and all their water. The ground began to crack. The 

Indian village had never gone so long without water. 

They went to Little-Drop-of-Dew to beg her to 

help them.

“What can I do?” she asked. The Indian people 

did not know what to do. All they knew was 

they needed rain. They walked away sad. Little-

Drop-Of-Dew felt bad too. She did not know 

why Inyau was punishing them.
