Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a village that suffered from drought for many years. One day, a fairy passed by and saw the villagers suffering. She waved her sleeves, and immediately dark clouds gathered, and a heavy downpour began. The rainwater moistened the cracked earth, and the crops were revived. From then on, this village never lacked water again. But the fairy also warned the villagers to cherish water resources and not to waste them carelessly.
