Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a great drought that lasted for many months. The crops were dying, and the rivers had receded so much that the people were running out of water. The king was worried about his people, so he took action. He ordered the engineers to irrigate the land so that the crops could grow again. They built a massive transport system of pipes and canals to carry water from the distant mountains to the fields. The people worked day and night to make it happen, and finally, the rain came back. The crops grew tall, and the rivers flowed once more. Everyone lived happily ever after, knowing that the king had saved their land from the great drought.

Reflections

1. Why did the crops stop growing in the story?
2. How did the king help his people during the drought?
3. What was the transport system made of?
4. What happened after the transport system was built?
5. How did the people feel when the rain came back and the crops grew tall again?
