Needing water.
خلفية ثقافية
Public water fountains called 'Pulpulaks' are everywhere. It is culturally expected that water is free and shared. In the diaspora, offering a guest water immediately upon arrival is a sign of respect and hospitality. In villages, people often drink 'Tan' (yogurt drink) to quench thirst, as it is more hydrating than water in the heat. Water was often associated with 'Vishaps' (dragons) who guarded the sources. Thirst was a theme in myths about heroes fighting for water.
