In a land not far from the sea by a lonely well a woman I did see. In a dream she looked at me as if I was lost. I asked her could I have some water and what it might cost. She gave me a puzzled look and said that she would draw it for me but that there was no charge for the water was free. She said I was once like you, I was lost at this same place until one day, a stranger came by this way. She said I was waiting by the well and he asked me for something to drink, then he told me about who he was and every thing I had done. Once he had finished, I felt so ashamed, then he gave  me water and everlasting life and now I never need to drink or thirst again. I went my way and told what he had done she said,  I proclaimed how I had met Gods only son. The people came to the well and many that day believed. So now I wait by the well for others to come and find me. I witness about the water of eternal life and of God gave us his son, Jesus the Christ.
