A certain man, experiencing a lack of water, began to ask God to give him water. For a long time he pestered God with his request. Finally, he heard the voice of God saying to him: “I can give you water, lots of water. But what will you take My water into and how will you store it? First, dig a well. And I will fill it with clean, cool water! The water is Mine, and the well is yours.” Source: Simeon of Athos Ascent to Heaven
