Dear Jay-de-boy,
See the donkeys– they go up and down the hill and then as they they [sic] go up the water skin goes down in the well and fills with water, and then the donkey runs down the hill to pull up the water skin and that is the way they water the fields in India and in parts of Arabia. That is the way to grow things in countries where there is little rain.
Love,
