Be a frog at the bottom of a well for a day, and looking up you see only a patch of sky as big as the well mouth

The mountain spring water has been piped in, and now we need a water tank big enough to store it. From then on, water for daily life and the vegetable plot will depend on it! There is a 20T (ton) water tank on the land. But it had not been used for years, and we decided to use it. First of all, it had to be cleaned, otherwise who would dare use this water?

In a water tank left unused for a long time, there is a lot of mud and fallen leaves at the bottom. Experiencing this, one wonders, how did mud get in there?

Right, this little frog in the city does not know how mud got to the bottom of the water tank?

Well, I will leave it for you to think about yourself! :)

The two of us climbed into the water tank, and it really felt like being a frog at the bottom of a well. Our tools were a broom and a dustpan, plus two metal buckets and two ladders. One person stood outside the water tank.

And so the cleaning work began: the frog at the bottom of the well used the dustpan to scoop up the mud and put it into a metal bucket, then climbed up the ladder and handed it to the partner outside. The partner outside dumped the mud out, then sent the empty metal bucket back in, and the work was repeated over and over. The frog at the bottom of the well had to judge the amount put into the metal bucket carefully, otherwise the partner outside could not lift it. Water and mud mixed together are really very heavy!

One bucket after another like this, and the white iron sheet at the bottom of the tank could be seen. Surprisingly, we even found a live shrimp. Rescuing the shrimp, of course, meant putting it into our ecological pond. It looked totally at ease as it entered the pond.

Although our faces and bodies were covered in mud, we still felt quite gratified. Cleaning the water tank was much faster than we had expected. Finally, we brought in the mountain spring water to wash away the last of the mud and sand.

Community life is rich and varied. Try everything once. Who has ever cleaned a large water tank big enough to hold a person? Who has ever built a house? Give yourself more chances to try things in life. Everyone is amazing!
