Save Water

There was a village boy named Ramesh. He never wasted a single drop of water. Years later, people in his village used water recklessly, but Ramesh did not. He tried to warn everybody and make them aware of saving water but none paid any heed to the little boy’s warning. Ramesh even showed how not to waste water. He demonstrated how to brush his teeth while turning the tap off, use a bucket and a mug for bathing, and other such water-saving tricks but still the people did not care much. 

Months went by, and winters came. On a cold and frosty morning, the villagers woke up to find that there was no water. They called out to each other to check if anyone had water, but alas! no one had a single drop. They could not drink any water, wash their clothes, or take a bath the whole day. 

Finally, the villagers then approached Ramesh. They repented for their mistake of not saving any water. Ramesh reminded them of the importance of water. Ramesh was a kid so he allowed every villager to take a bucket of water that he had stored in the tank during the summer days. The villagers thanked Ramesh and promised themselves never to waste water. 

The next day, by God’s grace, the village welcomed winter rains. Their wells and tanks were again filled with sparkling water. Everyone in the village was filled with joy!
