Tane, The Courageous Water Drop

By Rochelle Mercer

Tane was your average water drop hanging off a roof with the rest of his friends and family.

But they all had one fear! Dripping off the roof and meeting their death with a sudden and disastrous plop.

One day they felt an awfully big jolt. What on earth was it? They all wondered. Tane looked up to notice that they were about to fall. His family and friends were very worried. Tane knew he needed to fix this and fast!

Tane plucked up the courage and helped all his friends and family feel much better. He made them all smile with his optimism and bubbly, helpful attitude.

Splash Palace here we come!

It’ll be like water off a duck’s back.

Like a drop in the ocean here we come.

Wild and wet, that’s us!

Slip, drop, splash!

They all of a sudden felt another jolt. They plummeted, down, down, down.

Until..

Splosh

Six raindrops turned into one puddle. All as one. Together and happy.
