Advertisements
Solution
Hitting the lid against the tarpaulin hook, Pi opened the water can and started drinking. To the gurgling beat of his greedy throat, pure delicious, beautiful, crystalline water flowed into his system. It was liquid life. He drained that golden cup to the very last drop sucking at the hole to catch any remaining moisture.
