A farmer and his neighbor once went to Emperor Ming’s court with a complaint.
“Your Majesty, I bought a well from him,” said the farmer pointing to his neighbor, “and now he wants me to pay for the water.”
“That’s right, Your Majesty,” said the neighbor. “I sold him the well but not the water!”
The Emperor pondered for few moments and then responded.
How did Ming solve the dispute?

if the well belongs to him so does the water , if you bought a beer bottel you get the beer to.
You’re on the right track, but there’s a little more to it than that. Keep trying.
the neighbor would have to pay rent on the water if he left it there
You’re right, Carole!
That is exactly how he handled it.
You’re today’s winner.
