With his own two hands, Eric was able to pump water. When he stopped pumping, the water stopped flowing. It was confusing, trying to figure out why the water stopped flowing.
I told him not to worry, that all he had to do was to pump the handle and the water would flow again.

Yes, mechanical wonders but water, too.
"My little boy says I want something to play with which I never saw before and thus lives over already in his experience the proclamation of Xerxes advertising a reward for a new pleasure I tell him that the sun and moon are good playthings still though they are very old they are as good as new So are eating and drinking though rather dangerous toys very good amusements though old ones so is water which we wash and play with but he is not persuaded by my eloquence." Emerson, Journal, April 27, 1840.
