Dewy the drop: The Water Cycle

It was a happy day for me Dewy the drop, Daddy drop was out for work and Mommy drip was cooking lunch. I went out to play in the water garden with my friends Rainy and Foggy. I was catching Rainy when I tripped over Mr Cell's new football and fell into a muddy puddle. All of my friends started laughing at me so, I angrily decided to go home. On the way, I saw a long queue of drops and drips getting into a large building called the 'Precipitation Centre'. I got curious and joined the queue. After ages, my turn came and a security drop gave me a card on which it was written 'Precipitation pass'. I continued and reached a counter where a drip asked me for my card, I gave her my card and she let me in a room. I could see lots of drips and drops wearing parachutes and jumping of our cloud. A drop picked me up and gave me a parachute and pushed me out the hole in the cloud. Scared, I yelled, "I don't wanna die!". Then I saw a drip wear the parachute and pull a string on the back. I did the same...Yipee! I had opened a parachute.

I can't wait till I tell Mommy drip I thought. I landed on a leaf. I saw our neighbour Mr Diripops land on a nearby leaf. He instructed me to wait till I fall off the leaf. I waited for minutes and minutes and eventually I

fell asleep. I woke up to find myself flowing on Mrs Ganga. I asked her what happened to me. She said I fell off the leaf into the river. I saw lots of beautiful fishes and some ugly frogs on my way. Before I knew I was in the Bay of Bengal. I could see lots of drips and drops screaming in joy. I thought what was so happy being stuck in a place where all you can see is water??? I played with my pocket puppets, Punch and Judy as I saw the sun go down.

After a while, I fell sound asleep. I dreamt of water angels coming and taking me back to Daddy and Mommy. I woke up by the sound of drips and drops screaming. I opened my eyes to see countless drops and drips vanish into thin air. Suddenly I felt a strange feeling come over me and before I knew it I was in the air. All I could feel was nothingness. I even puked a number of times. I started crying for Mommy. After a while, I realized I was back to being a young drop. I was in a place called Condensation Centre. I exited the building to find myself back on my home cloud. I rushed home and hug Mommy and Daddy. With tears in my eyes, I mutter "That was quite a journey, but I hope that doesn't happen again.". But who knows what great adventure awaits Dewy the drop!
