Looking down into the garden one day, I saw what looked like shallow ditches leading away from the well to what might once have been a flower garden.
The well was sealed, its water pumped into our house, so I couldn't see it overflowing for the lilies, but it did have a moat all around it, with a hole for the water to escape into the garden.
The weather was becoming dry and the grass withered up and died. Only the trees and the lilies still had any green in their leaves.
I began to throw the mop water into the moat of the well to see wether it would be of help to the garden.
