Gathering Water
« Thread Started on Oct 28, 2007, 6:55pm »

Maddi heaved the tin bucket up from under the lake. She dropped it on the ground next to her, allowing a few droplets of water to slosh out. Maddi took in a deep breath and sat down on the ground, leaning forward so her elbows were being supported by her knees. Who knew gathering water took so much energy? How many times had she hauled a bucket of water from under this lake? I'll tell you: Too many times.

Mrs. Rosa had hired Maddi to gather water for her son, who had come down with a fever. Maddi thought she had already gathered enough water, but Mrs. Rosa disagreed and asked Maddi to gather some more. So Maddi did, keeping in mind that Mrs. Rosa had back pain, and therefore couldn't do it herself.

Maddi pushed her hair behind her ears and wiped some sweat off her brow. It couldn't hurt to take a small break.

Kazo stood in the forest near the lake watching the women sit there, after she wiped her hair behind her ears. ~I wonder why she's here..~ He thought approaching her.
