Three

Three days passed before they found the body....

Three days passed before they found the body. Three long days filled with anguish and desperation. They had known it was out there somewhere, but had lost all but the most miniscule speck of hope finding it. When they saw it, all three grown men wept openly, not knowing whether to run to it or fall to their knees in praise. Their three days of searching were over. After being stranded in the desert for so long, they had found the body.

The body of fresh water.
