He found the valve and gave it a turn.
And the water immediately was reduced.

He went back up the muddy trail
And told the people what he had done.
But no one would believe his tale,
Not a single, solitary one.

Afraid of being deceived,
The people showed only doubt,
Why should he be believed?
What is he all about?

Skepticism and emotion
Were sparked by the freaks word.
His story caused quite a commotion,
And the great man, of course, overheard.

He said, I will solve this dispute.
Whatever the problem, there must be a plan.
Of the truth, we are in pursuit.
A great problem requires a great man!

Id like a word, please come with me,
To the freak the great man said.
The freak complied with his plea.
To the great mans office he was led.

Once in his office, he closed the door.
He could not wait to ask,
What did you do, I want to hear more,
About how you pursued this task.

As the freak began to describe
The valve at the creek and slab of stone.
The great man was not willing to subscribe
To this story by a man who lives alone.

The great man was in disbelief.
He began to give the freak a speech.
