Little Drops make the mighty ocean

There was a farmer named Rangan who lived in a small village. He is a hard worker. His land was very fertile and he had dug a deep water well in his land. He made pipe arrangements to collect the rain water in the well. He made piping to direct the water falling over the roof of the house to the well. For the piping work, he spent a little money.

He told the people to do similarly like him to save the rain water. Fearing the money, they did not respond to his advice. Later in the summer, his village was hit by a drought. So all the people in the village suffered of water scarcity. After few days, the people in the village decided to ask their king for help.

The king welcomed them in his court. He asked , "People, I want to know from you one thing first, Did it rain during the monsoon season in your village?"

People replied, "Dear King, Yes, it rained heavily in the season!".

Then the king asked "Why you have water scarcity then? You must have water wells in your village, were not they filled? . The village people replied ,"Oh our mighty king,the wells have gone dry once the Summer started!"

The king asked "Did you saved the water in the well?". People replied that they have not stored rain water so far. The king said to them, "The rain water is our lifesaver." If you had saved your water on your wells today, your village would not have been depleted today.  Now, realize the need for water. Rangan, a farmer in your town, has saved enough of rain water in the well. He has agreed to help you this summer. Do not forget to save the rain again.!"

People realized the need t save rain water and thanked the king and Rangan. From then on they started to save the rain water and lived without water scarcity.

Moral: Little drops make the mighty ocean. Saving rain water helps to avoid water scarcity.
