Description Five or six people, men and women, came into my backyard and asked me, "Can you give us some water?" ... "Please."... "Could we share your water?" Mrs. Tsumura told them, "No, no, if you drink water now, you're going to die. Try not to drink any water." But they responded that they would die for a sip of water. Looking like ghosts, they pumped and drank the water.
