One bright morning, Pockets noticed something unusual. He was walking through the park when he saw people sweating under the hot sun. Some were gardening, some were jogging, and others just sat looking tired.
That’s when Pockets had an idea.
He ran home, filled his backpack with bottles of cool, clean water, and rushed back to the park.
“Here you go!” he said with a grin, handing out water to everyone he met. “Water helps your body stay strong!”
An old man on a bench smiled. “Thank you, young lad! You’re right. Water is magic for the body.”
Pockets blinked. “Magic?”
The man chuckled. “Well, maybe not with sparkles and spells. But water does amazing things. It keeps us clean, helps us think, grow, and even feel happy!”
That made Pockets think. The whole day, he kept his eyes open for signs of water magic.
He saw his mom using water to wash the dishes. He helped his little sister take a bubbly bath. He even noticed how the garden looked greener after a rain shower.
“Wow!” said Pockets, “Water really is magic!”
Later, Pockets visited the airport where his friend Dr. Nelson worked. Dr. Nelson was a ramp supervisor, helping planes get ready to fly. The airport was hot and busy, but Dr. Nelson walked around making sure every worker had enough water to drink.
“Staying hydrated keeps my team safe and strong,” he told Pockets. “We depend on water every single day.”
That night, Pockets sat on his bed, writing in his notebook:
Water helps our bodies, grows our food, washes the world, and even puts out fires. It’s the most amazing thing—and it’s all around us!
He smiled and whispered, “Now that’s real magic.”
✨The Moral of the Story:
Water is one of the most important gifts we have. It keeps us healthy, helps things grow, and makes our world clean and strong. We must take care of it—and never forget how lucky we are to have it.
