Once there was a woman who didn’t have anything, just a tiny house and a tin watering can. She could be seen walking the streets in both summer and winter, carrying her watering can full of rainwater just in case anyone needed some. When she passed by, the people, who never needed anything, would say “There’s that crazy woman with the watering can”. On the other hand, the plants, who needed everything, would say “It’s the Lady of the Watering Cans”. Time passed and the town became famous for its greenness, the blooming flowers and greenery in every crack in the walls, the courtyards, the footpaths, the parking lots, the roads, the streets, the underpasses, the pavements, the bridges, the ceilings, the floors, the schools, the houses, the army barracks, the churches, the hospitals, and even the prisons. People came from all over the world to study that watering can, which was really just a five-litre can with lots of dents.
