Here you go: =========================================================================== ======= 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!

As he reaches for the glass of water he finds a note telling him to pour the glass of water in the well and then pump the pump and then leave the note and another glass of water for the next traveler. That is all the story I know. Does anyone out there know the complete story.
