Whose well is it?

In the shanty-town there was no water...
It was evening, and the day had been very hard...
And Jesus said: 'Give me a drink.'

A woman passed that way, coming from afar. She was a stranger, someone they didn't know and she carried a bucket. She went up to the well where the children were sitting, and the old people and the men and women, looking at the water in the well - the water, so near and yet so far.
And Jesus said: 'Give me a drink.'

And the woman answered: 'Why do you ask me for a drink? You are poor and I am rich. You are thirsty but the bucket is mine.'
And Jesus said: 'Woman, what of the well? Whose well is it?'

And the woman's eyes were opened and with her bucket they began to draw water for the whole district.
