The adventure of water

The adventure of water

One day when the water was in the superb sea, he felt the capricious desire to ascend to heaven. Then he went to the fire and asked:

- Could you help me to climb higher?"

The adventure of water

The fire accepted and with its heat, made it lighter than air, transforming it into a subtle vapor.

The steam rose higher and higher in the sky, flew very high, up to the lightest and coldest strata of the air, where the fire could no longer follow it. Then the vapor particles, chilled with cold, were forced to gather together, became heavier than air, and fell as rain.

The adventure of water

They ascended to heaven invaded with pride and received what they deserved. The thirsty earth absorbed the rain and, in this way, the water was for a long time imprisoned in the ground, purging its sin with a long penalty.
