In the Jot Em Down store, Lum discusses with Abner what grandpap saw the stranger doing. What’s the importance of the sample of water that he took from grandpap’s place? Lum feels the need to find out before its too late. His figure of speech of putting two and two together confuses Abner.
As Abner worries over the high arithmetic, Lum lands on the idea of Ponce Deleon, and his search for a fountain of youth. What’s so big about discovering Florida? Abner thinks the old explorer was just lost. And if he’s dead, that fountain sure didn’t do him any good.
Lum has trouble on his hands, trying to explain what Florida was called before it was named. How did people there get their mail? From Ala mama? Imaginations run wild, but Lum manages to touch back on the topic of grandpap’s spring if he has drank plenty of that water, why doesn’t grandpap look any younger? A phone call from aunt Charity causes Abner to pass out.
