It was a hot Summer day in June.  The morning started at about 70 degrees.  Little Cora Molecule was still sound asleep in the surrounding waters of Cora Cora Island.

As it neared noon, the sun grew hotter, waking Cora.  Cora began to sunbathe in the solar radiation.  This feeling was familiar but she could not recall what it was.  All of a sudden, Cora started to float from the Ocean! 

Why do I feel like I'm disappearing? I'm losing myself! HELP!

Don't worry Cora, you're just evaporating because of the heat, look at me!  You'll be back in the ocean in no time. Just relax, enjoy the ride, and just go with the flow. See you up there!

Fellow Molecule, what just happened? I am not my normal self anymore.

You're just a new version of you! The solar radiation from the sun caused us to heat up.  We evaporated into vapor.  We've now lost heat and condensed into these lovely clouds with our other Molecule family.  It's a normal part of our water life cycle. Isn't the view great from here?! Enjoy it while you can.

Cora was trying to hang in there with her fellow Molecule.  She was too worried about what was the come and didn't realize the wind had transported them away from Cora Cora Island.  "I told you to enjoy the view while you could! Don't be fixated too much on the future that you forget what is in front of you. Be present and go with the flow", said Fellow Molecule to the worried Cora.

The evaporation and condensation of the Water Molecule family, in addition to the moisture from transpiration from their plant friends, made the clouds heavy.  This caused Fellow Molecule and Cora Molecule to coalesce and precipitate as rainfall.  "Just follow me and enjoy the ride Cora. This will be a fun ride back home", said Fellow Molecule.

Look at us, we're "runoffs" now!  This mountain is our sliiiiiiide!

Weeeee! This is so fun!

Cora was finally enjoying the moment and the different versions of herself

Cora: Woah, where are we?

Fellow: We've been absorbed into the soil as groundwater by the force of gravity pulling us down. I personally like to call us "aquifers" instead because it sounds better.

Cora: Hmm.. I agree. We're the new AQUIFERS! But, I sort of miss home..

Fellow: Don't worry. Just remember to gooo with the flooow. We'll soon go back and infiltrate the ocean of Cora Cora Island. They say if you take a nap, you'll wake up there in no time.

Cora: Okay, I trust you.. good night Fellow Molecule"
