Once a man got lost in a desert. The water in his water bag had run out two days ago, and he was on his last legs. He knew that if he didn’t get some water soon, he would surely die. The man saw a small house ahead of him. He thought it might be his imagination, but having no other option, he moved toward it. As he got closer, he realized it was quite real, So he dragged his tired body to the door with the last of his strength.’
There was no one in the house and it seemed like it had been empty for quite some time. The man entered it, hoping against hope that he might find water inside.
His heart missed a beat when he saw what was in the house—a hand pump. It had a pipe going down through the floor, perhaps tapping a source of water deep underground.
He began working the hand pump, but no water came out. He kept at it and still nothing happened.
Finally, he gave up. He threw up his hands in despair. It looked as if he was going to die after all.
Then the man noticed a bottle in one corner of the house. It was flled with water. He uncorked the bottle and was about to drink the sweet life-giving water, when he noticed a piece of paper attached to it. The handwriting on the paper read: “Use this water to start the pump. Don’t forget to fill the bottle when you’re done.”
He had a dilemma. He could follow the instructions and pour the water into the pump, or he could ignore it and just drink the water.
What should he do? How would he feel as he watched the water disappear into the pump? What if the pump did not function? What if the pipe had a leak? What if the underground water had long dried up?
But then maybe the instructions were correct. Should he risk it? If it turned out to be false, he might be throwing away the-last water he would ever see.
