Have you ever had to dig for water?Show more

Pete and I did, back in our farm-steading days in the 1980’s.

We were living in the back of beyond, and the tap water was disgusting.

Pete started digging a well on the side of a hill after a highly reputable water diviner had pointed out the exact spot where we would find a spring of fresh water.

To cut a long story short, Peter dug one meter a day, and after 30 days, there was no sign of water.

We had to reluctantly close the dangerous 30-meter hole, because the school holidays were round the corner and we had 3 little kids at the time.

Thankfully, we were able to source water from a different spring eventually.
I was reminded of our early days, full of hard work and challenges, while watching YouTube of an older couple cleaning up a murky well on their property in Portugal.

They had moved from England to this derelict property, and were all excited about their adventure, just like Pete and I had been many lifetimes ago.

After cleaning out buckets of slop and mud, their well was finally fully excavated.

However, there was no water at the bottom.

The woman in the story was an avid gardener, and she went to bed hoping that there would be a miraculous stream of water at the bottom of the hole in the morning.

The man shook his head.

He had given up on finding water there.

Can you guess what happened next?
