You can use this Sandbox to try out things with the Amara tool.

The video that is primarily streaming here is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU2kyr9jRkg , which is completely blank. But you can go to the URLs tab to add the URL of another video and make it primary.

Please remember to download your subtitles if you want to keep them, as they will get deleted - and the streaming URL reverted to the blank video if you changed it - after a week or two,

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?
