What Am I?

Author: Riem Nuon

Illustrator: Prom Vichet

Translator: Erica Cuellar

Can you guess what I am?

I clean your face.

I wash your hands and your body.

I clean your clothes.

When you are tired and hot, you need me.

I will help you when you are thirsty.

After playing in the sun, you need me.

Sometimes I make you feel cold.

I can make things float.

I can make you swim.

I help flowers and plants grow.

Sometimes you play with me.

You always need me around.

Without me, the land will be dry.

Without me, the flowers and the plants will fall.

What am I?

I am water!
