Inspiration from Genesis 29

Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east. And he looked, and behold, a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. And the stone upon the well's mouth was great.
...
While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep. For she kept them. And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.



So that's how it's done.

Cool. :-]

Guess you're in trouble then... unless you have sheep (and wells with large stones) in OK. We certainly don't have any around here!

I always wondered about that.

If that was his reaction after he first kissed her, then why the 14 years of work?
