Mark lives in a village which is just 6 km in range and is surrounded by sea on 2 sides and country border on 3rd side whereas it has a huge palace where ruler of the village lives on the 4th side and the back side of the palace is the only one way to get out from the village...
The village has a healthy population along with hospitals, schools, post office and many facilities. ...
Doctors are hired from outside in this villages...

The water is almost over.. go to store and buy water worth rupees 100 and get it fast Mark....Orders his mom
"Mom can't you go to buy it , I am playing my favourite video game" says mark..
Alright mark I will go to the store and buy drinking water till then you prepare food for all of us ... Replies mom
What ? How can I prepare food mom ? Mark argues...
You are left with two options my dear son ....
"Alright I will buy it for you" mark speaks in between...

Mark departs to buy water and reaches to the centre of the village where the one and only source of drinking water exists and that is the store named "Pure Water" and bought drinking water worth rupees 100....

On the way back to home mark thinks about from where the water comes ...???
Does the company produces water ?
The water from sea is not used for purifying then from where the water comes and why the water from the sea is not used for purification ??
Thinking about all this question mark finally reaches his home and sits alone in his room in deep thinking ....

He was not able to guess anything and so was trying to ask someone who can give him a perfect answer to his question...
There lived an old woman in that village who was the oldest in the village so he went to that old women and questioned her about the water problems he faced....
The old woman was shocked to know that some one was interested in such things and questioned Mark that why is he interested in such a stuff ???
So Mark said they have been taught in school that pure drinking water is available as a natural source then why they are wasting money on it....???

The old woman smiled and said....

Around 100 years ago.... When I was just 7 years old ....

(Horns of bike in the background)
Hearing to the horn of bike..
The old lady said "Mark come to me tommorow morning I will answer your questions tommorow "
Mark tried to took answer from old lady but she refused and told mark not to discuss more and come back next morning...

Mark went out from the house of old lady and  started walking back to his home...
The old lady started her routine back on the other side !!!

Mark on the way asked himself that Did he had less questions that more number of questions popped out in between...
There was no one out their yet the old lady told me to get back the next morning...

Mark reached home...
Her mom & Dad were finding him... He had gone out without saying anything to them...
They felt relaxed when they saw mark home back....
His mom told him to get fresh and come up for the dinner...
Mark went and had a bath he was thinking and thinking about his question while having a bath too....
Mark... Mark...Get out now !! How much time would you take more.. we don't have sea full of water... His mother shouted....

Mark suddenly got out of his question dreams and came up for dinner...
He was not eating the dinner...
He was yet thinking over his questions....
His mother scolded him and told him to finish the dinner fast....
Mark as if he came out of dreams started eating and went back to his room and sat in a corner in deep thinking....
While thinking he had slept on his bed......

The next morning he went to the old lady...
He asked the question again...
The old lady said why you came so late...
You had to be here at around 6:30 Am ...
Now get back to home and come back tommorow at 6:30 Am....

Mark was shocked what is there at 6:30 ?
Did water came at 6:30 ??
Mark was confused he kept on thinking whole day and had decided to reach to the old lady at 6:30...
