And he awared....

       Tony,a 7 year old little boy lived in a small city Jojo.In his family, there were 4 members-he himself,his younger sister,mother and father. 

      Tony was studying in 2nd. standard in nearby government school.He was brilliant in study and always came first in the class. Because of his intelligence in studies,he was favourite of all teachers in the class. Seeing his academic progress, his parents fulfilled his all needs,stubborns immediately.

       Tony had all good habits except one.He used to play with water and waste much water.He used comparatively more water for bathing,brushing,etc...By that way he used to waste much water daily. His mother, father both explained him time by time not to waste water. Unfortunately his habit didn't leave anything. Father told him the value of each and every drop of water.He explained the importance of water in living world, necessity of water for each and every living being.

        Mother explained him about limited stocks of drinkable water."We have to use it very carefully"she said again.Mother and father both explained him the importance of each and every drop of water by different, different ways to keep him away from the habit of wasting much water. 

       Unfortunately there was no impact seen and his habit still continued. Mother,father were worried about his that habit. They were searching an appropriate solution to rectify his habit. 

       Days were passing.Tony's final examinations were done and subsequent holidays started.In those holidays Tony and his parents planned to go to their native village 100 kilometres away from the city.Next day as per the plan they started their journey towards the village in their own car.

      Tony and his family were very happy. On the way they saw number of ladies going to fill water in pots.After 5 kilometres distance they saw a water hand pump where many ladies standing in a que to fill water.After some distance they saw many dead fishes in dry lake.Tony was seeing these all carefully.His father showed all these things to Tony consciously.

      After reaching the house in the village they welcomed by Tony' s grandparents.After few minutes they washed hands,foot and mouth and were refreshed.Few minutes later they came to know that water came there in the houses once in 5 days due to less water stock in the lake.

       By seeing correct time Tony' s father removed the subject of his habit to waste water.Father reminded Tony...."ladies wondered for water,dead fishes and village's water situation".Grandpa gave him valueable sermon of saving water.

       After prolonged thinking Tony came to know the importance of water, value of each and every drop of water.He gently sworn to use enough water for daily needs and not to waste even single drop of water from that moment. Tony's parents, grand parents all were very happy to see Tony's swearing of not to waste water.By that way Tony's habit to waste water was overcame.

Moral:Water is life so use it very carefully.
