The year was 1986 in Yercaud India. We brought our water bed matresses from USA to India. They were popular then and comfortable. We set them up on the floor and filled them with water. Problem was the servants were afraid of them because they moved when they touched them while cleaning! Our servant in Yercaud asked my wife why a water bed? Even with the explaination my wife gave her she still thought there was more reasons for this bed? One day this servant told my wife the reason for the bed! At night we could use a straw and drink water from the bed so we did not have to get out of bed at night! We had a chicken in Yercaud that would fly through our window and lay an egg every day on our water bed! I would just gather the egg and had breakfast! Life was simpler in those days! It also had its challenges! Thankyou. James Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
