Oh Agua! I hope you alright.
Where could you possibly be? This is all
my fault. If I've been a more responsible
cousin, I would never let you get lost
like this in the first place. I'm just a drip.
Alligators?
Oh no! Not alligators. I hope one of them
didn't find you, Agua. That's too terrible
to even think about! To be inside an
alligator might be dark and scary. How horrible. No!
No! Now, now, little Hydro. You need to have a
positive attitude when you're
discouraged.
Your cousin Agua may be closer than you
think.
Sit down and let me tell you a little
something about the watercycle.
Hey, wait a minute. How do you know my
name, and how
do you know where Agua is? Who are you?
I'm the sun. My friends call me Solar. I am
the source of energy that fuels the water
cycle, which you and your cousin Agua
are part of.
The watercycle is a wonderful cycle
that happens over and over again. Let me
show you how the water cycle work,s Hydro.
Whoa, what's happening to me Solar?
Just relax Hydro. You are evaporating.
This is part of every waterdrop's life.
Usually you are unaware of these changes
because you and your cousin Agua are too
busy playing to notice what's really
going on around you.
My rays give you heat energy that makes
you move faster. As you move faster it's
easy for you to break away from the
crowd and evaporate or become a vapor.
Your new vapor speed allows you to flow
to the air. Ha, Ha. Isn't this fun?
I'm water vapor. Ha, ha, this is great!
But how do I get back down? Well, that's the
catch. Once you go up, you don't come down
until you meet Miss Frosty and cool down.
Don't worry.
You'll run into her sooner or later.
Good luck, Hydro. You find Agua soon. I
promise!
Hello Hydro, I'm Miss Frosty. I'm here to
chill you; it's okay. This is all just part
of the water cycle. Where's my cousin?
What have you done with her? Take me to
her right now!
Patience, Hydro. You're almost finished,
and we'll be able to catch up with Agua
in no time. Water moves around the Earth
in a continuous cycle. It's all the same
water being used over and over again.
Agua is just ahead of you in the
water cycle, but you can catch up with her.
I'm not vapor anymore Miss Frosty. I'm
feeling all moisty. Who are these
droplets? What's happened to me now? Calm
down.
Turning from a vapor into a drop is
called condensation. When these water
drops join up with you everyone together
becomes a cloud. It happens to all water
vapor when they meet me. Follow the wind,
it will lead you to Agua, and she's not
far ahead of you now.
Precipitation like rain, snow,
hail, and sleet will take you back down
to the ground. When it's time to move on,
don't be afraid.
Remember, what goes up, must come down.
Good luck, Hydro. I'm not so sure about
this precipitation business. Excuse me
sir, but what's all the fuss is about? Why
you all lined up and what are you getting ready to do?
Oh where have you been?
Hurry up and get ready. We're all going
over the edge and precipitating. Now don't
worry I know it's safe.
Watch my signal to go off and then jump.
We're all jumping a different time so
you may be on you're own out there. See you
on the ground. What's the signal?
