Poem
The Oil and the Water are talking to each other... Oil, so bold displaying her prowess. Silky and suave, saying... "I am the greatest. No liquid can withstand me!" Water heard it loud as the Soil on the ground listens. "I am simple, but balanced. I am plain and clean." The Oil boasting... "I can make everything slip through me, glide and slide with my power " The Oil is inside a jar, sitting on the dry ground very close to the river where Water stays all the time. The Oil continued, "Look at you, don't you get tired with the air currents?... You are always moving, flowing in this river like crazy." The Water was silent for a while, but the Wind heard what the Oil was saying to the Water. The Water replied, "Many things depend on me that's why I keep on moving and running all the time." The Oil bragging again, "Look at me... more people wanted me than you! Even animals and birds want more of me than you." The Wind said to the Oil, "We don't have control of everything around us. We should be glad that everything around us make good use of us. " A man coming from nowhere, walking naked and barefooted, picked the jar of oil and placed it on top of a big rock on the side of the river. The man left the jar open as the skies begin to rumble... The Wind tried to cover the Oil inside the jar to protect it from overflowing, but the rain already started. More raindrops caused the influx of the Oil from the jar as the Oil cried for help. The Oil dropped freely on the river asking for the Wind and Water's help. The Oil traveled so far away until it reached a river bed. The Oil stayed in the river bed for a long time and the water there is now contaminated. Until it dried and turned into a swamp.
