Buckets
A bucket, also called a pail, is a watertight, vertical cylinder or truncated cone,
with an open top and a flat bottom, usually attached to a semicircular carrying
handle called the bail. Buckets have been used since very ancient times, mainly
for transporting water from a fountain or well into permanent reservoirs such as
water holes and barrels. Buckets are also used to carry paint, sand and foodstuffs.
Buckets can also be used on farms, to give feed to animals such as horses or cows,
or to collect things such as apples.
