In her warm and inspiring style, Sasso tells us about two mythical kingdoms: The Kingdom of Midnight is overflowing with water, but in desperate need of oil to light its lamps; the Kingdom of the Desert is blessed with oil, but in dire need of water to grow its gardens. Each faces disaster.
The Prince of the Midnight Kingdom and the Princess of the Desert Kingdom each ask God for help, but they prove too stubborn and full of pride to ask each other. Finally, after the powerful rulers fail, the children's simple acts of kindness help the people find God's answer to their prayers.
