Meaning?
Hi,
What is the meaning of a spare tap and haul it back in buckets in the following text?
"What are we supposed to do? Gather at well each morning like the ancient Egyptian and carry it ( water) home in pots on our heads? Drive to Hattiesburg and find a spare tap and haul it back in buckets."
Please note that I don't understand how a spare tap could be hauled back in buckets, unless to take it that the pronoun "it" after the word " haul" refers to the water and not to the spare tap. Your comments would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
