The Drinking Pool
The Karoo is a dry place, but there is water in our village of Nieu Bethesda. In this quilt, all the animals are gathering to drink. We haven’t got elephants and giraffes in Nieu Bethesda, but we have seen them in pictures. We have a lot of springboks and kudus. The two springboks are getting together, talking to each other. We love the colours of the quilt, because they blend together just like in nature. The quilt also shows the dryness of the Karoo with the browns and rust colours, and the khaki green. We love the pool because it’s muddy and you can see the ripples and the light on it.
