Water talks
“A few days ago, I was in a cloud,” said the drop of water. “Then I dropped into a river and ran into a reservoir. Then it was time for people to clean me.”
“Clean you ?” Dora said.
“Yes. I was dirty. They cleaned me and added some chemicals to me.
Then I travelled through the pipes under the streets and now I`m here.”
Dara asked , “So is this the end of your journey ?”
“No. People will make me clean again. I`ll go into a river and then into the sea again”
“Again?”
“Yes.My journey starts there.Remember not to waste or pollute me. I`m valuable.”
Dora turned the tap off and came out of the bathroom.
Facts about water
Here are some interesting facts about water:
About 70% of the human body is water.
Oceans cover about 75% of the Earth, but ocean water is salty.
Therefore most of the water in the world is not drinkable.
Groundwater may be drinkable, but it is not easy to find groundwater that is clean and safe to drink.
Having a bath uses about twice as much water as taking a shower.

Electricity all around
“What do you know about electricity , Benny!”
“Electricity gives us power. It flows through wires. It`s like water , in a way,” said Benny.
“You`re right! Electricity comes into our flat through thin wires. These are connected to cables under the street,” Dad added.
“What are the cables connected to ?” asked Benny.
“They`re connected to a power station,” answered Dad.
A moment later , Daisy came back.
“May I have my packet of electricity ?” Benny asked.
“ Here you are !” said Daisy.
