The Dry Creek Middle School drinking fountain has sprung a leak, so principal Walter Russ dashes off a request to Flowing Waters Fountains, Etc.We need a new drinking fountain. The school board president is up in arms. Sam N.'s fifth grade class is turning up a host of hilarious secrets buried deep beneath the fountain.. A scandal is brewing, and Mr. Please send a catalog.Designer Flo Waters responds:"I'd be delightedbut please understand that all of my fountains are custom-made."Soon the fountain project takes on a life of its own, one chronicled in letters, postcards, memos, transcripts, and official documents.
