Little Boy Can't Understand Why Wire Bucket Can't Hold Water

(Video Link)

YouTube user RenoGeek and his son visited a children's museum. While there, the toddler tried to fill a wire mesh bucket with water. Unfortunately, the bucket was defective. It couldn't hold any water at all. I hope that he was able to get a refund for his admission ticket.

This reminds me of when I was a child and I had a "365 day storybook". On my birthday the story was about a poor Native American man who came to a farmer in the dead of winter. The man had very little, barely any food and nothing to drink but water, although he did have a large woven basket. He asked the farmer for a drink of cider. The farmer thought to trick him, laughed and told him that he could have all the cider his wicker basket could hold. The basket was not tightly woven and water proof. The man went away and came back later that day and gave the farmer the basket. He had dipped the basket in the river over and over until it was covered in ice and therefore leak-proof. The farmer grudgingly gave him all the cider that basket would hold.

It was one of the first stories I ever heard and I just love it for a number of reasons.
