Famous Novels。
It reminded me of the wind I read when I was in high school.。
A man who goes out into the dunes is trapped in a house buried at the bottom of a sand pit。

I wonder where Keene's house was.。

Remove sand、Try opening the lid、Surprised。At the bottom of the tub、There was water standing up.。
(p.258)

The man began to make a reservoir device。
When I was a kid、I once dug a hole in a rice field。
Rice paddies of course drain poorly。
It is very different from sand, but when I dug a few meters, water came out and accumulated at the bottom。
It must be similar to the feeling of finding spring water.。
There is also a famous spring in my neighborhood.。
I recently visited with a signboard。
I didn't drink it because drinking water is prohibited, but I would like to drink it next time.。
