I have everything I could ever want, but... I'm not happy
Raina the Rich Droplet By Mae Briggs
Maybe I'll go for a swim in the water.
Uh oh....
GULP!
Raina is later evaporated out of the turtle when it starts to sweat. She is nervous about evaporation because it has never happened to her before.
Ahhh! Help! A turtle is drinking me!
LATER...
Woo hoo! Evaporation is much more fun than I expected! I'm rising higher and higher, and turning into water vapor!
Woah... I am water vapor now! I just changed from water to a gas!
Sigh.... I jut want to go back home. This is too hard.
Oh well... I guess I'll try to make the most of this experience.
Wow! Is this really happening? I'm condensing and turning into a cloud. It's really cold, though.
What Raina didn't say is what condensation is. With colder temperatures, vapor turns back into liquid water droplets which form clouds.
Hmmm...this is the first time I've actually been a part of something bigger than myself. Maybe I will go talk to some other droplets to make some new friends. I've never really had any friends before. Back home, everyone thought I was selfish.
Well, Storm, it was so nice getting to know you!
Ah! Too much water has condensed! We are combining, getting heavier, and falling as precipitation.
No! Bye, Raina.
Agreed! I hope that, after precipitation, we end up in the same place!
