Analogy of an addiction.

There once was a little girl who looked down into a well. She leaned on the stone edge and listened to the dark wind coming from bellow. A desire to touch the water spread through her skin. She did, with the tip of one finger. The next day she managed to get all her hand wet. The third day she fell in.
