The Bleeding of the Stone. Set up a giveaway. The story concerns Asouf, a Bedouin herder living alone with his goats in the mountainous desert of southern Libya.
He is also the custodian of the ancient rock paintings which tell of the bond between humans and the wildlife of the area. Asouf is the only person who knows of the whereabouts of the waddan, a breed of sheep long thought extinct and famed both for its ferocity and the quality of its meat.
When a pair of hunters, who have already been instrumental in the slaughter of the desert gazelle population, turn up and demand that Asouf guide them to the waddan , he is forced to choose between his human kinship and his spiritual ties with the waddan.

It is also a perfectly turned ecological fable, describing the environmental disaster brought to the desert creatures by men with Land Rovers and rapid-firing rifles.
