s lica vody ne pit'

Sun Jul 6 17:05:18 UTC 2003

    I am not quite sure what the pogovorka S lica vody ne pit' means. I have found it in 
Chekhov's story Horoshij konec (1887), but it may well come from Krylov, whom I cannot consult at the moment, since I am away from home.
Can ayone help me out? Thank you
        Giampaolo Gandolfo
