Old Fountain

I imagined an old man that decided one day to build a smart water fountain in his front yard that works like the MGM grand hotel fountain in las vagas. He knocked down the front wall and rebuilt it as wall with seating built into it; a bench-wall for people to sit down on the wall while they wait at a nearby bus stop and look at the fountain. 

He would start off with a small fountain with water jets that shoot little drops of water out. Then he would build a larger pool around the outside of the smaller pool. He would program a computer system that controls the water sprays. Soon the whole front yard was one big set of pools with water jet sprays. 

Crowds would gather in front of his house and look at the fountain. Some people would throw rubbish in at his display while they sit on the bench wall but he would just use a hand grabber stick to pick up the trash and put it in his bin, nothing seems to bother the old man. He would even find uses for some of the rubbish. He would put the sweet wrappers in to a blender and turn the plastic into plastic powder and mix it with cement to create the walls of his fountain, a kind of water resistant concrete. He would line the rubbish infused concrete with waterproof resin just in case it wasn't enough. To most people it would be a pleasant sight, something to smile at while they were passing by or waiting for the bus. 

Finally lighting would be added to his mix. Lots of LEDs. 

One day someone would ask the old man why he does it. He would say it is a hobby. I create joy for free. It keeps me busy he would say.
