62.On the other hand,about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly.Man can only drink or use the other 3% of fresh water which comes from rivers,lakes and underground .And we can’t even use all of that,because some of them has been polluted.
Now more water is needed.The problem is:can we avoid a serious water shortage later on?Firstly,we should all learn how to save water.Secondly,we should find out the ways to reuse it.Today,in most large cities water is used only once,but it can be used again .Even if every large city reuse its water,still there would not be enough.What could people turn to next?
The sea seems to have the best answer.The is very big.Look at the map of the world,there is more sea than land.It covers three quarters of the earth.All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water.Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it.So you see,64如果我们可以找出解决方法，我们就不会有干涸（dry up）的危险。

Once, a man sold his well to a farmer. Next day when the farmer went to get the water from that well, the man didn't agree. He said, "I sold you the well, not the water, so you can't get the water."
The farmer became very sad. And he came to the judge in the office alone. He described everything and asked for help. The judge called up the man who sold the well to the farmer. He asked, "Why don't you let him use the water of the well? You have sold the well to him." The man replied, "I have sold the well to the farmer, not the water. That means he can't get the water from the well."
The judge smiled and said, "OK, as long as you have sold the well to him, and you say the water is yours, then you can't keep your water in the farmer's well. Either you pay for the farmer to keep your water, or you must take it out of his well right away."
The man understood that his idea couldn't work. The story tells us we can't cheat others, though we are smart. We can't win in the end.
