Water, one of the five elements of nature, is the creation of God. It has four attributes of sound, touch, form and taste. It has the property of constant flow, always on the move. We should learn from it never be idle but always do some work, which will help others and create harmony.

Close your eyes and imagine your day. You got up in the morning, prayed to the Lord and went to the bathroom to brush your teeth. You had milk and took bath with the help of water. Your mother washed clothes with water. Your cleaner cleaned the utensils with water. Your father watered the plants and washed his hands and legs with water. All of you had your tiffin prepared with the help of water.

Oh! my child! We cannot exist in this world without water. We should be grateful to God who has created this water to quench our thirst. We should not waste water, instead save every drop. Thank God for the wonderful gift. Gently come back to yourself and say these lines.

Water, Water, Water.
God is your creator.
You make everybody’s life a pleasure.
I promise to keep you ever pure.
