Connected to the pipe, there is a big engine with a gas bottle.
What is all this stuff for? asks Doudou for himself.
As a matter of fact, one of the gardeners is coming…

“ Hello sir, says Doudou, can you explain to me what is this big engine used for?
- Hi little bear, answers the man. This engine is a pump that we use to get water from the well. I’m going to show you how it works…”
By pulling a string, the man starts the engine.
- It makes a lot of noise, says Doudou, but I can’t see any water.
- Of course Doudou, if you want to see the water, you have to go to the other end of the pipe…”
