Ishmael spoke about when he was telling his uncle about the technologies in America such as moving stairs and running water. His uncle couldn't believe what he was hearing. His uncle thought to have hot water come out of a faucet there was someone on the other side of the wall boiling it over a fire. It is amazing what we take for-granted here in America. We often don't think of running water as a luxury or convenience. We just consider it a normal part of everyday life.
