Monologue on getting water from the tap
This monologue by Muhammad Aslam (a 36-year old male teacher) is about a story of a man who was visiting a village and saw people getting water from a tap in the wall. He returned to his own village and eagerly explained that he discovered a new way to get water that was much easier than their traditional way. He bought the supplies and installed the tap in the wall, but no water came out. One of his fellow villagers explained to him that, in order for the tap to work, one must install a pipe from a water source to the tap faucet in the wall.
