One Tub of Hot Water, Used Three Ways — Epoche A1
Saturday evening. In our house one tub of hot water is for the whole family, so we use it in this order. First, everybody washes outside the tub. I sat on a small stool, washed my body and rinsed all the soap away with a bowl. The tub is not for washing. It is for after washing. Then my father got in, then my mother, then me. Between us we put a lid on the water to keep it hot. This morning my mother put a hose from the tub into the washing machine. The same water washed us, warmed us and cleaned our shirts.
