"Something's wrong." he thought. "Maybe I'm not drinking enough of it."
Feeling reckless, Jeremiah plunged his head in the big bowl and took a big gulp of the water.
Reaching into his jeans pocket, he got out his fabric handkerchief, wiped his face, and shook his hair dry.
Almost instantly he felt the growth coming.
He grew an extra foot in height, and another, and another, and another, and so on.
And then, he was big enough to put on his clothes again.
Immediately, he wasted no time in getting his clothes back on.
then, he went back to work, as if nothing had happened.
as Jeremiah worked in the fields, he started thinking of the fountain.
He thought maybe he could try again tomorrow.
