Once upon a time, there was a severe drought in a country. The king ordered his soldiers to search water everywhere. One soldier reached the market and asked a shopkeeper, “Where can I get water?” The shopkeeper said, “There is no water here. But you can take this slab of ice. This is actually frozen water.” So, the soldier took the ice with him. Neither he nor his king had seen the ice before. On the way, the ice slab melted into a small piece of ice. The king thought that the small piece of ice was the seed of water. He asked his soldier to dig the ground to sow the seed so as to get the tree of water. But the ice piece melted when kept on the ground and the water got absorbed in the ground. The king asked the soldiers to dig the ground to get back the ice. They dug deep in the ground and found water instead of ice. This is how the wells were created.
