 A Drop Story

Hi, how do you do?..... You don't know me,

do you?! Strange!!
Although all the people everywhere use me and
sometimes misuse me, live with me or let me say
live because of me …. But they don't respect
Or recognize me, except at the moment of need
when they get thirst.

Some scientists predict that I'll cover most or

all of the low lands of the earth because of the
Global Warmth which results in melting the huge
Ice Mountains in the North Pole.
Some other strategic experts predict that the
coming Global War
"World War III" will take place between countries
because of deforestation, draught and lack of Me
& my Family!

I guess you know me now ….. Yes, yes you're

right
I'm the W.D. And this is my story ….

Everyone knows that I'm the secret of life, I

made and make man and animal move; and
change from a place to another looking for me …
and where I'm found on the earth surface; you
may find different forms of life such as
agriculture which means man's settlement in
tribes, then societies and a village which may
widen to be a city …. You may say that I'm the
base of culture …. But on the other hand if I go
away and never comes back (Evaporate) all
different kinds of life should vanish and Man and
animal should move somewhere else looking for
me.
So without me, no settlement, no culture and no
Life.

RE: Excuse me, Mr. WD ?!

WD: Yes ?

RE: (shaking hands with it) Let me introduce

myself..(slipping his
Hand away) Oh! You're so wet … I'm a
reporter from the Why,
When and How News.

WD: Welcome!

RE: I'm sorry for interruption but I think the

viewers may wonder about what's so
important of { Don't misunderstand me } just
a drop of water !!!?

WD: Let me remind you first that you represent

Why, When, How News.

RE: You're right but I apply for other Question

words News so I'm trying….

WD: Never mind, it's OK. But are there other

Question-words?
RE: Oh, Yeah a lot… for example now you're in
front of me as a Water Drop, but if it becomes
hotter you may vanish …. Where do….?

WD: Is it another news agency you work for ?

RE: Ah.. Ha. Yes, No… let me ask where do you

go or what shape do you form in? Please I
really want to know.

WD: OK. In very hot climates on the different

surfaces of the world where you may find me
in the form of a Sea, an Ocean, a river, a lake,
or a water fall …etc. I evaporate, fly and goes
up high with all the other drops where we
condensate at the blue sky and form clouds .

RE: Oh, it's a long journey, isn't it?

WD: Yes, it is.

RE: It's a dangerous adventure for a drop of

water to evaporate to rise high up in the sky,
then condensate and form clouds and fly
moving above the earth. Do you feel
romanticism in that?

WD: It's a role in life I have to play to get and

give life..

RE: Then, what? Please tell me.. What happens to

you?
WD: It depends on the creator's mercy… I fly and
move from here to there by the power and
wind direction.

RE: How do you see the world when you are up in

the sky? Aren't you afraid of falling down?

WD: I must fall down for the sake of life circle. If

I'm kept in the sky as a cloud, one day you'll
find no water on the earth… so I must fall
down in the form of rain.

RE: Then, how do you fall? And, Where do you

go?

WD: We get the order to fall, so we fall.

RE: Where?

WD: It's a matter of destiny, and to answer your

Question I'm in need of some coffee; drink
with me?!

RE: OK. With little sugar, please!

WD: Yeah.. But much water?! Ha.. Ha..

WD: Here you are !

RE: Thank you…. Ummm smells terrific.

WD: While drinking remember.. no coffee, tea or
any soft drink without me !!

RE: Of course, {Talking to himself} … (She so

proud) just tell me now, how is falling from the
sky is a matter of destiny?

WD: You know we fall in the form of rain drops.

RE: Don't you lose your life?

WD: We give life wherever we fall onto. Where

I'm found you always find life…

RE: Yeah, and sometimes I may find death… I

remember last year in India and Bangladesh
where you fell heavily and caused floods
which destroyed crops, collapsed homes and a
lot of people drowned and died..

WD: It's a destiny of a land where rain came

heavily, and over people's needs… But in
some other parts of the world there are
certain areas in which vast lands are known as
deserts, they may pray for God to make it
rain.

RE: Why there is no justice … there is draught

somewhere and floods somewhere else ?!
Why?
WD: As I told you it's a matter of destiny.. But we
are everywhere and ready for achieving the
order to fall or keep flying in the sky

RE: You may pass over a draught desert whereas

you may fall into a sea or an ocean …??!!
WD: You're right I may fall into sea and become
salty seawater but I may also fall into a river
and become fresh-water …

RE: It's really strange …

WD: What's strange?

RE: Now, you're in front of me as a drop and may

be in a moment you vanish and …

WD: And evaporate in the form of steam?! Does

it what you mean?

RE: Oh, yes.. as a matter of fact I want to know

more about you and the changes that happen
to you …

WD: Then, let me tell you my story. (Joking)Do

you have enough time?

RE: Of course I do, it's all yours!

WD: So, let me start from being a cloud. After we

fall as "Rain", I may fall into a river and
become "fresh-water" run in a certain stream
 and water plants and let animal and man
drink to live.

RE: But you said "May"… why? Is there other

possibilities? And what are they? When you
evaporate and vanish, does it mean that
you're dead?

WD: I'm always alive, but in different names

(titles), forms, shapes, colours; I even come
sometimes with different sounds.
But, please don't interrupt me !!

RE: Sorry for interrupting you!

WD: When I become "freshwater" in a river, I feel

very useful for all mankind and the different
kinds of life, I irrigate crops, plants, flowers
and trees. When you're thirsty , you drink
me.

RE: Si Si, Siniorita, so, if I drink you this is your

end, if you're drunk, you're dead!!

WD: Nein idiotanos, after you drink me I run into

your bowel, then stomach, absorbed and run
into your veins then vessels as blood (I'm red
now) your body gets oxygen and vitamins
through the red blood cells and the white
blood cells which protect you against germs
and microbes .

RE: How can you run through my body?

WD: I'm pumped as blood by your heart and
travel 90,000 kilometers.

RE: How could I get rid of you or the unwanted

water for the body?

WD: Your body gets rid of the unwanted water

through sweat or when you piss and again I
vapor…. You interrupt me again!!

RE: Sorry! Sorry, please complete..

WD: Where we stopped?!

RE: You come down as rain, you may fall into

river and become fresh water and I drink
you…

WD: Yes, you know that you get me even with

the food you eat which couldn't be swollen
unless there's water content in it.

RE: Sure..Yes, and after that you're absorbed

and become blood. I know, it's once said that
the human body is about 70% of water. Oh,
that explains. Afterwards my body disposes
of you, you die!

WD: I never die. You may die without me, but

I'm always alive.
RE: Anyway, You've given detailed information
about living in my body; after being drunk as
fresh water from a river you fell into as
rains…. OK, What if you've fallen at the top of
a mountain?

WD: That's a good question, but let me switch on

the AC.; it's getting hotter and I may
evaporate.
Yea, if I fall on a mountain, sometimes the
temperature at the summit is very cold, so I
may freeze and become snow. At the poles
there's snowfall and in heavy blocks I
become an ice mountain (ice berg).

RE: What if it wasn't very cold?! Let's say,

Neutral or normal.

WD: I may run down the mountain to come to a

high end and become a Waterfall which
gives an amazing view and gives different
forms of life. "You know, man somehow,
somewhere makes use of that falls by
moving huge turbines to produce electricity.

RE: Then what happens after running down a

mountain?

WD: I may run down the earth, forming

underground rivers in which people may dug
holes down the earth to get fresh water from
wells.
RE: And you're pure in that case?!

WD: Absolutely fresh and clean.

RE: What if you don't go down the ground?

WD: On the surface you mean…. I may run down

to go into a big round low land to form a
lake…. Or ..

RE: Or go into the ocean, or…

WD: Or into sea… But I never die.

RE: Of course not; you'll evaporate again to form

clouds, travel away up into the sky above the
earth.

WD: Do you know that the earth is known as the

blue planet because of me?!

RE: Madmoazill drop I'm really happy of the time

I spent with you, and I'll always remember
that I'm living because of you.
Anything you like to recommend?!

WD: Please, advice mankind to make a good use

of me because without me man should die.

RE: Of course I'll always remember that; and

remind all others about it…. You're really the
secret of life.
