Edith Neni
And A Very Deep Hole
Edith Neni
lives in the heart of a very big forest in Hungary. And, Edith Neni
has a nice little garden. A wonderful garden. A garden of magic and
surprise. And, Edit Neni's biggest surprise is a very deep hole.
It was 40
years ago. It was August and hot. And, Edith Neni's son Ferry was
looking forward to coming of age. Soon he would be 21. A very
special birthday. But, sadly only warm beer. No current - no
fridge. They were all very poor.
But, Edith
Neni knew the solution. Cold beer was no problem at all. A deep
hole was all that was needed. And, Ferry started digging a two
metre hole. And, then came the magic.
When the
hole was complete, Ferry sunk a 2 meter length of pipe with a
diameter of 40 centimetres into the hole. And, then, into this pipe
went a second 2 metre pipe, this time with a diameter of just 30
centimetres. The gap between the two pipes was very important. Then,
the lowering of a bag full of beer into this 2 metre hole was all
that was needed. Mother Earth did the rest.
And, of course, Edith Neni has been been using the same hole for the
last 40 years as a fridge. And, it's perfect. Butter, Cheese, and
meat, and everything else keeps very well at the bottom of a hole
that's 2 metres deep. And, the best thing of all – no power is
needed. Every thing's free, But, this isn't the end of the story..
Two years
ago, Ferry was crossing the Sahara by foot. And, sadly, only warm
beer. And, then, Ferry spread the word. Now, there are thousands of
2 metre holes in the dessert. Warm beer has become a thing of the
past. All Africa's happy. And, you can be happy as well.
If you have
a house and a garden, just dig a hole that is two metres deep and put
in 2 pipes. You will then have cold beer for ever. Cheers! What a
wonderful thought.
