*Buying a well*

A Chinese bought a well from an Englishman.

The next day while on his way to market he met the Englishman who told him:
"Brother, I have sold the well to you but I have not sold the water, if you use the water you will have to pay for it."

The Chinese replied:
"Ah, yes. I was planning to go to your place and ask you to empty the water and if you don't do it then you will have to pay the rent for the water in my well."
