One Thing Missing
1 min illustrated story · A little help remembering 水
Before their walk, Alex packed a map, a small towel, and two packets of biscuits. His water bottle stood beside the kitchen sink.
He checked the canvas bag once more, picked it up, and went to meet Lin.
Half an hour later, they stopped at a park bench. Lin took out her bottle. Alex took out the map, the towel, and both packets of biscuits.
He looked into the bag again.
“Very well prepared?” Lin asked.
“For almost everything.” Alex pictured the bottle beside the sink.
Lin pointed back toward the park café. They bought water there and sat at an outside table.
“水,” she said, lifting her glass. “Shuǐ. Water.”
Alex took a long drink.
“Useful word,” he said.
“Useful thing to bring.”
He opened a packet of biscuits and pushed it across the table. Lin took one.
Before they continued their walk, Alex put the capped water bottle in his bag. This time, he checked for it.
