Fetching water

Dear friends,
A few days ago my class and I all brought empty water jugs to school. We carried them to a park about a half mile away and filled them up with a water spigot (probably a little different then how you get your water)! My friend and i shared carrying a 5 gallon bucket just like you! It was pretty heavy but the hardest part about it was that all the water was spilling out! When we got back to school we only had 4 1/2 gallons left in our bucket! I can't imagine what it would be like if we had to carry it on our heads! I have so many questions for you all. Do you always go with your friends or do you sometimes go alone? What happens if you spill the water? Do you have to go back? How old were you when you first started? How long does a water container last before it cracks or breaks? The thought of doing what you do at such young ages really amazes me and i wish that i could be that strong and tough!
