Third Grade
Third Grade: Third Place
Hey! I’m a raindrop in the air of Russia. I came from the Arctic Ocean, before that I came from the Pacific Ocean and even before that I was some place in Madagascar on some lake! I could go on forever about where I’ve been and the places I’ve seen.
How did I get here? I’ve always dreamt of being part of something big. Never mind. I need to talk to you. Recently I’ve been feeling really light. Today I can’t even feel my weight! I’ve heard about this deadly disease called evaporation. Evaporation is where you are really light. My friends have told me that other raindrops don’t usually return after having it.
Ouch! Belly-flop right on a beach stream in Hawaii! Wow! All of a sudden I fell like I’m getting heavier. Ow! Well, quit it because I’m going far, far away. Silly invisible items on me. Wait… I have a different disease called condensation! Condensation is where you have the complete opposite of evaporation and end up really heavy.
Fly through the air to the city of New Fork! Oh, Mr. Bird, so it’s New York! I see now! Why is this heavy junk still on me? Thankfully I’m becoming white and fluffy like mashed potatoes! If I was a mashed potato, I’d eat myself. That slug I saw yesterday told me that mashed potatoes are all around in Idaho! That’s where I’m heading.
Whee! Here comes Idaho, the town with non-stop mashed potatoes for me! Oh no, ice storm around the corner. Let’s keep going! I don’t want to risk freezing or becoming part of that sleet mix. I have friends nearby in Utah.
Utah now! At last, all my friends are here! Who could ask for more? Where I am meant to be. We are heading high up into the clouds, soon we will fall as snow! In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
