My story begins in a far away cloud on 7/17/11 two water drops bonded and made a small water drop, me!

Then one day I precipitated or made it storm. I clinged on to all my annoying sibling as we felllllll!!!

I landed in the ocean (the Atlantic I believe). I unattached from my siblings and then things started to heat up.

I was evaporating I was doing it for a while so I made some new friends.

After a while we got to where the air is quite cold we started condensating and we became heaver and fell.

This time I precipitated to a farm and fell into the ground. I made my own groundwater/aquifer den with my friends.

Some more people came and got sprayed on the crops and they found us and had a good time. They told us irrigation was fun.

Later on we found some water drops who had been explorers, and they told us all about their adventurers. They've been to water wells. sewers, and they've even been on surface water from lakes and oceans several times!

The adventurer drops promised they'd take take us on an adventure if we made them members of our aquifer. We said yes!

They let us chose where we wanted to go. The options were go through irrigation, go to a power producing facility, or go to a cooling tower.

We chose irrigation, but when we tried gravity was too strong and the sun was not hot enough, so we fell back to where we started in the aquifer.

That is the end of my story. Like all good books this is ending in the middle of nowhere. I hope you enjoyed it.
