A Drop of Water

I've always loved plants, and yams were one of my favorites. In my home, there were always large yam leaves and in the center of them was always a drop of water.

Looking at them, they looked like liquid diamonds, and I imagined they were alive, and that they would go out in search of adventures. So, I wrote this little story about a little drop of water and its adventurous journey 'home' to the sea.

Hope you enjoy it!
