But this man had set down with a hammer and chisel and carved out a stone water trough to last ten thousand years. why was that? what was it that he had faith in? it wasn't that nothin' would change. which is what you might think, i suppose. he had to know better'n that. i've thought about it a good deal. . . and i have to say that the only thing i can think is that there was some sort of promise in his heart. and i don't have no intentions of carvin' a stone water trough. but i would like to be able to make that kind of promise. i think that's what i would like most of all.
