Stephen asked his neighbor, Klay, to water his garden while he went on a popcorn tasting tour. For three days, Klay watered the garden without any problem. On the fourth day, when he touched the outside faucet, he received a violent electric shock that sent him flying through the air, melted his sneakers, and set his clothes on fire. As a result, Klay was significantly burned.

Klay filed a lawsuit against Stephen based on negligence, arguing that Stephen caused his injuries because Stephen negligently repaired his second-floor bath tub and caused a leak. After the "repair", there was a steady leak of water that flowed through the walls, soaking wires, and eventually causing the outside faucet that Klay used to water Stephen's garden to become electrified.
