APPROPRIATING WHAT IS THERE
A ship in distress off the Canadian coast, with its fresh water supply completely exhausted, sent out an S. O. S. for fresh water. The reply came back immediately: “Let your buckets down.” They had not realized it but they were off the coast at the place where the St. Lawrence River was flowing out into the ocean. They were surrounded by fresh water before they had even asked for it. Paul Lee Tan Encyclopedia of 7700 Illustrations
