It wasn't easy to dig « ditch over such a long distance but he kept on going. Inthe frst few months, Pablo didn't have much to show for his elfors. The work was hard, even harder than Bruno's because Pablo was working evenings and weekends too, But Pablo kept reminding himself hat tomorrow's dreams are built on today’s sccrifices During his rest breaks, Pablo watched his fiend Bruno lug buckets. Bruno's shoulders were more stooped thon ever before. He was hunched in poin, his steps slowed by the daily grind. Bruno was angry ond upset, resenting the fact that he wos doomed to carry buckets, doy in, day out, forthe rest of his life Finally Poblo's big day arrived, his pipeline was complete! The locol people crowded oround in excitement os he water gushed from the pipeline into the town's water tank, Now thot the village had a steady supply of fresh water, people from the surrounding villages moved into the town and so the town prospered >. Once the pipeline wos complete, Pablo didn’ have to carry buckets anymore. The woter lowed whether he worked CF not It flowed while he ate. I flowed while he slept. i lowed on weekends while he relaxed with his friends and family The more the water flowed into the town, the more money flowed into Pablo's pockets!
