Bamboo Poles

Tweet

I remember vividly carrying a bamboo pole was indeed heavy. Such bamboo pole was used like a water jug in my grandfather's village in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines. I recall I broke one of these poles whille stumbling, when my left foot hit a rock.. When my cousin and I were fetching water from the lone well of the village, we had hard, but memorable life. .Life was harder then compared to today's endless supply of water from a spring near Tumalog village. I wish I could still carry one of those bamboo poles.
