Will you give me a drink?

where the sun melts the sky above Sychar,
sits an old, deep well. a woman bends down
drawing water, for herself, by herself.
She startles as a man approaches her.
He is a Jew. and she is a half-bred.
He sits down by the well, tired, thirsty,
a wearied traveler, lost foreigner.
He begins to speak, "Will you give me a drink?" 

"How can you ask me for a drink!" she cries
exasperated - she does not realize
who is speaking, who is standing with her

He speaks, "If you knew who it is who asks
you for a drink, you would have asked and he
would have given to you Living Water"
