Man saw that every time

urine

left his body he would soon die...

if it were not for

water

. Pure, clear water that he could drink so that he would not run out of

blood

.

The

earth

provided so much water. It seemed an endless supply. Man would urinate in one part of the river, then go upstream to find clean water that which his urine did not touch. Man wondered from where this pure water came, as he enjoyed it. Drinking it down, turning it into the blood that ran through his veins.

One day he was washing a fabric in the river. Beside him happened to be a girl from the forest that he occasionally ran into. He casually and innocently said aloud, isn't it amazing? that we have all this pure water? That we need not drink nasty urine? The girl then commented to him, that the clear water he drank upstream came from him. That in fact it was not only his but everybody's urine that went into the water, including that of animals. But how? man wondered. The water was sucked up by the heavens, and then the heavens pour that water down again upstream where he found his water, she told him.

This deeply disturbed him. He gave a chuckle and said, well that can't be true. The water that I drink there is so pure. It could not have everybody's urine in it as you say.

The forest girl insisted this was true. Man gave another chuckle but then went on his way.
