In a small village in India, there lived a kind - hearted little boy. This small village often suffered from water shortage. The villagers had to walk a long way to fetch water every day, and the amount of water they fetched was very limited. The little boy knew well the preciousness of water and was very thrifty every time he used it.
One day, the little boy went to fetch water as usual. When he came to the well, he found an old water pot with strange patterns. He thought this water pot was very special, so he took it home.
The little boy put the water pot in the house and then carefully poured the fetched water into this water pot. To his surprise, the water pot was like a container that could never be filled. No matter how much water he poured into it, the water pot could hold it. The little boy was very excited. He thought that from now on, the village no longer needed to worry about water shortage.
So, the little boy began to share the water in the water pot with everyone in the village. The villagers all thought it was very magical and came to fetch water one after another. However, as time went by, the little boy noticed a problem. Although the water in the water pot seemed inexhaustible, the villagers began to be wasteful because they had enough water. Some people used water to clean things that didn't need to be cleaned, and some others let the water flow on the ground at will.
The little boy was very sad when he saw this situation. He realized that even with the magic water pot, if everyone didn't know how to cherish it, the water would eventually be exhausted. So, the little boy decided to do something to change the villagers' ideas.
The little boy began to talk about the importance of saving water in the village. He told everyone that water was the source of life. Even though there was a magic water pot providing water now, if everyone didn't cherish it, the magic would disappear. The villagers felt very ashamed after hearing the little boy's words and began to reflect on their own behaviors.
Since then, the villagers saved water as they did before again. And this magic water pot has always been providing water for the villagers. As long as everyone saves water, it will never run dry. The little boy's village has also become more beautiful and happy because everyone cherishes water resources.
