Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one, but there is also a third thing that makes water,
and nobody knows what that is.

the prayer of the little ducks

 





.



Dear God,
give us a flood of water.
 
Let it rain tomorrow and always.
 
Give us plenty of little slugs
and other luscious things to eat.
 
Protect all folk who quack
and everyone who knows how to swim.
 
Amen.

—Carmen De Gasztold
