The boy who saved the river

This is a story about a boy called Julian, and how he saved the river.

One night, when Julian was sleeping, the river beside his house got angry and flooded the whole village where he lived. His family escaped and ascended to the roof of the house. Julian was so scared that he didn't want to descend until the water had returned to the river.

When it dawned, he noticed that the river was full of rubbish and he thought that was the reason why the river got angry with them. Julian felt sad with this fact and decided to finish it. He began asking to his mother and the others women of the village, why they threw away the rubbish into the river, and they said to him that people who lived above in the bank of the river also made it.

He continued walking along the bank of the river, and found a man throwing bottles and other things in the river, Julian asked him why reason he made it, and the man answered the same thing this mother and the others women of the village have said.

On the way he found industries, which have thrown dirty water contaminated with chemicals to the river. Julian was disappointed and tired because anyone gave him a good reason why they were messing the river; however, his curiosity was more powerful and he continued with his journey.

And then, almost without realizing, he arrived to the mountain, where the river is born, although it was no longer a river, but rather a stream, and beside it there was a little wooden hut, where lived a beautiful girl. Julian asked her if she has thrown rubbish to the river and he told her about the inundation in his village. She said that she never thought that the stream became a river able to flood a village and promised him she'll never throw the wither flowers in the stream again.

When she was saying that, Julian suddenly saw a piece of paper floating on the water, the girl told him that once daily piece of paper passed floating in front of her hut. Julian ran and caught the piece of paper and saw that it was a poem from the boy who lived above the stream, to the girl; she read it and said that she would go to see him and she asked him not to throw rubbish to the river again.

And that's how Julian saved the river.
