1.The weather was hot and the children frightened.
2.The children were very thirsty. Julilly started shimmering pools of water ahead of their cart.
3.The slave-trader's bottle was empty so he ordered the driver to stop so that he could re-fill his bottle. This meant that the three men would have a break.
