Once upon a time, there was a small village in the jungle where people were facing a big problem: malaria was spreading fast and harming everyone. The villagers' morale was low as they didn't know what to do. But one day, a wise old man came to visit the village and offered his help.

He noticed that the village was near a canal and had a channel that connected it to the river. He told the villagers about his idea of using the canal for commerce, but first, they needed to make it cleaner. So, he invested all his savings into buying materials and hired a group of creative engineers with high levels of ingenuity.

Together, they designed a plan to dig deeper canals to channel the water better, built filters to clean it, and set up a system to prevent malaria-carrying mosquitoes from breeding. The villagers were amazed by the old man's solution and helped him carry out the plan.

In no time, the canal was transformed into a thriving hub of commerce, with boats carrying goods and people coming and going. The villagers' morale was lifted and they were grateful to the old man for his investment in their future. And so, the village lived happily ever after, free from the problem of malaria and with a clean and thriving canal.

The end.
