And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees - growing out of single roots or otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat.

我就以倾注的雨水开了许多天门,
你说:“你们告诉我吧,如果你们的水一旦渗漏了,谁能给你们一条流水呢?”
