All three were high school students. His teachers gave him homework. They were to meet in the library square at the hour when the sun was at its highest. Ahmet, who came a little early, checked his pocket money. He realized that he had lost his money. He searched and couldn't find it. “Look at this thing”, he said, kicking an empty soda cap… How he was sweating… He didn't have money to buy a bottle of water… Others arrived soon. They were also sweating from the heat. They forgot to ask Ahmet while they were getting a bottle of ice cold water from the sideboard… He couldn't ask because of his shame. While the two friends were drinking their blood, Ahmet swallowed. Then they entered the library together… They were going to collect information about historical foundations due to Foundations Week. One of them was attached to the name of the founder of the foundation:

-Look at the name! But too long…

-How?

“Ali Ağa bin Hüseyin bin Mahmud Ağa bin Hüseyin Ağa bin Mahmud Ağa…”

-What foundation did this man with a long name set up?

One of the boys muttered as he skimmed through the words he didn't know:

-He says sebil water, snow, water etc., but…

Ahmet listened… He took the page. He went straight to the librarian and asked.

The expert took a glance at the text and explained:

-This person with a long name established a foundation in the Atça town of Aydın in 1277 Hijri (1860 AD).

This foundation used to buy a mule load of snow and pour it into the fountain house of the town mosque every day during the summer days. That is, so that the public can drink ice-cold water.

Ali Ağa's grandfather had this fountain built in his time. Returning to his desk with the information he received, Ahmet thought, "I wish I had lived at that time"…
