Once upon a time, there was a kingdom that was surrounded by water. The people of the kingdom needed a way to transport goods from one side of the kingdom to the other. So, the king ordered the construction of an aqueduct that would carry water from the mountains to the city. The aqueduct was a marvel of engineering, with bridges and tunnels spanning the canals, and cisterns to store water.

Along the way, a dam was built to control the flow of water, and levees were constructed to protect the city from floods. The road was lined with walls to keep the water in the aqueduct, and a viaduct was built over the river to allow boats to pass underneath.

Finally, the people of the kingdom were able to transport their goods across the kingdom using the aqueduct, which was now known as the skyway. It was a safe and efficient way to travel, and the people of the kingdom were proud of the magnificent structure.

The end.

Reflections

1. What was the problem in the kingdom and how was it solved?
2. What are some of the features of the aqueduct?
3. Why is the aqueduct called the skyway?
4. What happened to the people of the kingdom after the aqueduct was built?
