Sokedile is an outsider in this growing town of agrarian Idoani people. Nobody knows who he is or why he came here. He is treated like other vagrants with suspicion and offered little help.

Willful ospreys' fish in waters, no contest, but in a stagnant pond, a visiting fluttering dragonfly with desires to perch on the elegant lily must fight to rest. For before it arrived, there bountifully fed the scarlet beetles!
