Out in the dry dusty west.. water is scarce!
A long time ago... some folks were stranded and had to make there way on
foot
across the burning sands... for miles they walked... until they had no
more water in canteens. On the map they had.. was a location of a water
hole!
They pushed on... dreaming of water and ignoring the parched thirst that
gripped
them in the heat.. in time they came to the Oasis, only to find it DRY!
In a sand-blasted old wood box, was a water pump and a note:
"Howdy! This pump goes dry... and needs priming to get started..
if yah look behind you under the big rock.. you'll find a quart jar of
water..
There's just enough to prime... Good Luck Pilgrim.."
The pioneers turned and found a glass jar of clear cool.... water under
the rock as expected.... and the thought crossed their mind...
(*Hummm... I could trust the instruction or just drink the water...
*what if I waste it
on that dusty pump and don't get anything back!)
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
-----------------------------
Slowly the thirsty pilgrim poured the life giving water into the dry
well...
*chug..chug..creeeeek..gurgle...moan
He lifted the handle and let it fall..... until slowly from the deep
came
dirty rusty fluid!... pumping continued and soon the water cleared and
came out cool and pure! *Plenty for all and everything they could fill
was filled...
Last pump re-filled the jar... and it was replaced under the rock...
with a note: *It worked!

*What do you think?
