One frivolous stream forgot that it owed its birth to rain. Once, after a heavy downpour, it swelled so excessively that, having lost its modesty, it set out to become a full-flowing river.
To widen the channel, the raging stream began to undermine the bank, eroding the earth and collapsing stones.
But the wind dispersed the clouds, and the bright sun came out again. Without knowing it, the obstinate stream turned out to be a prisoner of the dam he had built. In order not to turn into a dirty puddle and not dry out in the sun, he had to sweat a lot, wandering among the scattered stones, before he could go down into the valley and give his waters to their rightful owner - the river.
