The Old man, then back menaburkan a handful of salt, into the watering hole. With a piece of wood, making waves, stirring up and created the ripples of the water, probing the quiet watering hole. “Try, take the water from the watering hole, and drink. When the guest is finished mereguk the water, the Old man said again, “How does it feel?”.
