Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle.

An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Abstract: Dans le ciel, les nuages s’accumulent. Une goutte d'eau s’échappe de l’un d’eux. Des milliers d’autres suivent le même chemin : il pleut! As-tu pris ton parapluie? Sous terre, les gouttes cheminent, ruissellent et se rassemblent dans les lacs sous-terrains et les nappes phréatiques. Dans la nature, l’eau est dans tous ses états: au soleil, elle se transforme en vapeur d’eau. Avec la fraicheur de la nuit, la condensation la transforme en rosée. À l’approche des glaciers, elle se transforme en flocon de neige. Condensation, ruissellement, évaporation: c’est la grande aventure du cycle de l'eau. Une aventure clé pour l’environnement.
