1:39:00
I'll learn to use the rod...
1:39:02
and I'm sure I'll fiind water.
1:39:05
You know how to make a well?
1:39:08
After all, a well is just
a hole in the ground.
1:39:13
I'll make it 36 feet deep,
and even if I don't hit water...
1:39:17
my problem is solved.
1:39:20
What good is a dry well?
1:39:22
I'll use it as a cistern!
1:39:26
A well that size will hold
43 cubic meters of water!
1:39:30
Spring rains will fiill it up.
1:39:33
In the summer months,
between this well and our cistern...
1:39:37
we'll have 55 cubic meters.
1:39:40
That gives us 36 days
of worry-free watering.
1:39:44
We've had longer dry spells.
1:39:47
Where does a drought last 36 days?
1:39:53
The Sahara? Maybe!
1:39:55
Or maybe in the Gobi Desert!
1:39:58
But not here!
1:40:01
It's mathematically impossible!
1:40:08
Let's drink!
1:40:21
From what you tell me...
1:40:24
the only good news
is that now...
1:40:27
he drinks red wine.
1:40:29
And the divining rod?
1:40:31
That's a nuisance.
1:40:34
Could his book
teach him the secret?
1:40:37
Hell, no. It's no secret.
It's a special touch.
1:40:41
- He might hire a real dowser.
- You know any?
1:40:46
I knew one in Ombrees.
1:40:48
If he came to Romarins...
1:40:50
he'd locate the spring in a flash!
1:40:54
Is he still in Ombrees?
1:40:56
Sure, but luckily
he's in the graveyard.
