  Long ago, before shimmering cities and humming machines, there was water. It flowed in rivers, danced in the rain, and filled the oceans—a silent, steady force that carried life in every droplet. For centuries, humanity has respected this precious gift, but as time passed, it was forgotten. The rivers grew polluted, the lakes dried up, and the rain became a rare visitor. Then, one day, something unimaginable happened: the water began to disappear. In "The Day Water Vanished: A Drop of Life," embark on a poignant journey to a world where the most essential element vanishes. Witness the Earth’s quiet sorrow as her rivers slow to a trickle, her lakes vanish, and even the vast oceans retreat. Follow the plight of a little fish struggling in a polluted river, the thirst of animals in dry fields, and the confusion of people as their faucets run dry. But this is not just a story of loss—it’s a story of rediscovery. It’s about remembering the first drop of water that touched the Earth, bringing life to a barren world. It’s about understanding the interconnectedness of all living things and the vital role water plays in our existence. And it’s about a promise: a promise to cherish this gift, to share it with every creature, and to ensure that this never happens again. "The Day Water Vanished" is a timeless fable that resonates with readers of all ages. It’s a gentle reminder of the profound importance of water and a powerful call to action. Join the journey, learn the Earth’s lesson of love and respect, and discover how, together, we can keep the flow of life alive.

  Blank? by Randall Garrett - Amnesia? Well, maybe—but how and where had he earned that $50,000? 
  Bethelman came to quite suddenly, and found himself standing on the corner of 44th Street and Madison Avenue. He was dizzy for a moment—not from any physical cause, but from the disorientation. The last thing he could remember, he had been sitting in a bar in Boston, talking to Dr. Elijah Kamiroff. After the interview was over, they'd had a few drinks, and then a few more. After that, things began to get hazy. 
  Bethelman rubbed his head. It wasn't like a hangover; his head felt perfectly fine. But how in the devil had he gotten here? He looked around. No one was paying any attention to him, but no one pays any attention to anyone on the streets of New York. Still feeling queer, he headed east on 44th Street. 
  He wanted to sit down for a bit, and the nearest place was the little bar halfway between Madison Avenue and Grand Central Station. He went in and ordered a beer. 
  What the hell had happened? He'd had too much to drink on several occasions, but he'd never gone to sleep in one city and awakened in another. Dr. Kamiroff must have put him on the plane; the biochemist didn't drink much, and had probably been in better shape than Bethelman had been. 
  He glanced at his watch. Two-fifteen! Wow! The city editor would be wondering where he was. 
  He went to the phone, dropped in a dime, and dialed the city desk. When the editor's voice answered, he said: "Hickman, this is Bethelman; I'm sorry I'm late, but—"

  Elephant is hungry. After some exploring, he discovers a field full of carrots and bananas. There’s only one problem… 
  There are bees between him and the delicious bananas and carrots and elephants are afraid of bees. Elephant thinks of a way to get the carrots and bananas without getting stung. 
  He enlists the help of his friends, Rabbit and Monkey. He doesn’t think they will be stung by bees but he conveniently forgets to tell them about the bees anyway. 
  When Elephant’s plan goes wrong and his friends realize he knew about the bees, they decide to teach him a lesson about honesty. 
    
  This story was inspired by the Elephants and Bees project in Kenya where farmers protect their crops by using bees to keep elephants away from their land. As a result, farmers now have an additional source of income from the honey produced by the bees.
