Riva's Flow of Life

A small river named Riva flowed happily through forests and fields. Every day she carried

leaves, twigs, and little boats made by children. But after many years,

she grew tired. “I’m done,” Riva whispered. “I will stop flowing.” So she slowed down…

and soon the leaves piled up, the fish struggled, the plants began to dry,

and the children waited for their boats that never moved. Seeing this,

Riva felt sad. “If I stop, everything around me suffers,” she realized.

Gathering strength, she began to flow again—slowly at first, then stronger and

clearer than before. The forest awakened, the fish danced, and the children cheered.
