The curiosity of every person on the scene was roused. Everyone wanted to know the secret of the ancient lotus pond. Hence, under the lead of the chief of the attraction, the workers took all the water pumps from the store and started to pump out the water in the lotus pond. The water pumps that the attraction used were old. When plugged in, they made rattling noises; there was a lot of movement. The water that was pumped out flowed into the drain. But there were only four water pumps in the attraction, and one didn't work. Even when the three pumps worked together, it would require more than twenty hours to pump the pond dry. In order to speed it up, the chief called a related department for back up, and moved a few water pumps over.
