The Messy Water

Water Thief?

Just my assumption

I saw a fire department's water hydrant along the roadside with an additional hose attached to one of the outlets. hmm... I was wondering if somone has attached this purposely to get free water from it. Anyway, just my little piece of assumption. I hope there is a water hyrant outside of my place so that I could get free and strong stream of water to wash my car. Where can I get one of these hoses.

The hose was attached to one of the outlets on the water hydrant. With the other end of the hose hidden under the metal lid, so that no one will see it.

No pain no gain. I am sure the person who attached the hose had made a painstaking effort to open up this huge cover. It is not easy to get free water though...

Let's open the metal lid to see what the hose looks like. Ya, it is a hose, the source of "Free" water

One of the economic theories says:
There is no free lunch - Everything in this world comes with a cost. Even if you are too lucky to pick up something valuable on the floor, don't you ever think it is free when you have no need to pay for it. There is definitely a cost associated with the thing you pick up. Someone might have dropped it, and that person has to bear the cost for losing it. The cost does not come to you, but it goes to another person. Come to think of it, Do you still think it is free?
