Question- 3
On a blazing hot summer afternoon, an old man came walking down a
narrow village path. He was tired and thirsty. Right by the road, he spotted
a tiny grocery store. It had a tin roof and mud walls. The shopkeeper sat
inside fanning himself and shooing away the flies that were buzzing
around in the stifling heat. There was a little bench in front of the store
where the villagers met when evening came and the land had cooled
down. The old man flopped down on the bench. He was so tired that for a
while he could not speak. Finally, he opened his mouth and uttered one
word, ‘Water!
Now, this village had been facing a horrible problem for a long time. It was
near a great desert and the rains came only once a year to fill its ponds
and wells. But the rains had disappeared for the last two years, and the
villagers had been making do with water from a faraway stream. Every
morning groups of men and women walked a long distance, filled their
pots from the little stream and used that the whole day. Naturally, no one
wanted to waste even a drop of this precious water.
