Past and Present
I was in Ireland during WWII. There was a man in a cottage and a Nazi soldier who was threatening him. The man refused to leave his house after being ordered to do so by this soldier. In response, the soldier too an artillery cannon and pointed it towards the inside wall of a house that was sectioned off into rectangles and made of paper and wood. The soldier fired the cannon twice hitting the wall but missing the man. The owner of the house just glared at the soldier so he left.
Then I jumped to the present time at the same cottage. This time there was a young and old woman there. The older woman couldn't speak English so the younger woman talked with me. She told me how the older lady had given her son water form an underground aquifer that ran underneath the property. She went on to describe how this water had helped make her son very strong. She explained that the soil was very sandy and gravelly and I realized that was how the water was being filtered so well.
Any help is always appreciated.
