Tears in the Ocean

Tears in the Ocean Bess was very upset. She hurt her arm in the backyard. She cried a lot. Her mom cleaned the cut and put a bandage on it. Her aunt gave her a glass of water. “ Bess, you know those tears running down your cheeks are falling to the ground?” “ Yes, ” said Bess. “ Those tears go into the ground. The rain takes them to the river. And the river flows into the sea. Then the hot sun makes the wet air from the sea rise up into the sky. "

海洋里的泪水 贝丝非常沮丧。她在后院弄伤了胳膊。 她经常哭。她妈妈清洗了伤口，并用绷带包扎。 她的姑姑给了她一杯水。“贝丝，你知道你脸上的眼泪正在掉到地上吗?” “是的,”贝斯说。“那些眼泪进入地面。雨带走了他们到河边，然后河 流入大海。然后炎热的太阳使空气潮湿从海上升上天空。”

Her aunt said, " This wet air becomes clouds. The clouds move over the land and rain falls from them. That rain fills our lakes. Our drinking water comes from those lakes. ” Bess looked at the glass of water she was drinking. “ You mean I'm drinking my own tears?” she said, smiling. Her aunt laughed. “ Maybe! ”

她姑姑说:“潮湿的空气变成了云。云在地面上移动，雨水从云上落下。雨水灌满了我们的湖泊。我们的饮用水来自这些湖泊。”碧丝看着她正在喝的那杯水。 “你是说我在喝自己的眼泪?”她笑着说。 姑姑笑了。“也许吧!”
