The Life of a Water Droplet
PLOP! Francisco the water droplet fell out of the sky and into a nearby waterfall. “That was a blast!” said Francisco’s friend, Bob. “Race you again!” yelled Francisco. So they evaporated and then went up into the sky as they turned back into droplets they formed into a cloud.Then they fell back down again and again, repeating the cycle faster and faster, each time. And when they were going up for the last time, instead of falling out of the cloud, the wind blew him. Francisco went way too fast and actually precipitated into a pond in Florida!
“I can't believe it!” Francisco cried. “I went all the way from Connecticut to Florida!” And then when Francisco was in shock, someone picked him up in a cup and brought him to a roller coaster. They got strapped in on the roller coaster. But oh no! Francisco got launched out of the cup and onto the front of the roller coaster! “AHHHHHH!!!!!” Francisco screamed. He blew off the roller coaster and landed on a water slide. “Hi,” the other water droplets said to him. But before he could say hi back, he got launched off the water slide and into a waterfall.
All of a sudden Francisco started getting hot. He turned invisible as he evaporated and flew up and up into the clouds. Again, he fell out of a cloud and bam! He was with his family again. They were sitting in a puddle together again waiting to evaporate while hugging. But so much for that hug.
Poor Francisco got launched up into a cloud and was out over a different ocean. ¨AHHHHHHH HOLA!!!” said the other water droplets. ¨Como estas?¨ ¨Uhhh,¨ said francisco. ¨No habla espanol?¨ ¨Uhhhhh.¨ ¨Ohhhh, you don´t speak spanish.¨ said one of the other water droplets. ¨I speak english.” said Francisco.
But, all of a sudden, PLOP! ¨Hi!¨ said Francisco. Someone else fell into the ocean with him and the others. ¨Soooooo…...¨ said the girl after the Mexican water droplets greeted her. ¨My name is Misty, what’s yours?¨ ¨Uhhh my name is Francisco.¨ he replied. “Sooooo what do we do now?” asked Misty. “Evaporate.” said Francisco. But they didn't evaporate.
Instead they got scooped up in a pelican's bill with a fish and dropped into a gigantic bucket. “Whoa, where are we?” said Francisco. “I don't know.” said Misty. “A... A...” stuttered Misty. “A bunch of baby turtles!” finished Francisco. As they were admiring the baby turtles they got dumped out of the bucket and into a bigger ocean.
“Yay now we can talk while we evaporate,” said Misty. “So where are you from Francisco?” asked Misty. “I'm from a waterfall in Connecticut,” Francisco replied. “I'm from Clearwater Lake in Maine.” said Misty. “Cool.” “So how did you end up here?” asked Misty. “I got formed into a cloud and fell here. My family was still evaporating.” “Oh.” answered Misty. “I just fell out of the sky!” “Ha ha!” said Francisco. That joke was a classic. “Now, where were we... Evaporating?” questioned Misty. “Yup,” answered Francisco.
“Now we form into a cloud. And then…… WE RAIN!!!!!” “WOOHOO!!!!” they both said. The Mexican water droplets were falling with them. “THAT WAS AWESOME!!!” said Francisco. “HOLA, HOLA, HOLA, HOLA!” said one of the Mexican water droplets. Uhhh, thought Francisco.
A few seconds later, “PLOP!” they all fell into a lake that Francisco thought was familiar. “Francisco!” Bob cried. “You’re back!” “YES I AM!” replied Francisco. “Who’s that?” asked Bob. “This is Misty.” said Francisco. “Oh, Misty and I met a looooooong time ago,” said Bob. “Oh,” replied Francisco. “I wasn’t talking about Misty.” insisted Bob. “I was talking about those guys.” “Oh these are the water droplets from Mexico,” replied Francisco not looking back. “Hola!” yelled one of them.
“Anyways…” said Bob. “I'm thrilled you're back!” said an excited Bob. “Me too!” replied Francisco. After that they said hi to everyone. Misty ended up leaving to go back to her home. But she visited weekly. And they lived happily ever after. Or did they?
