Kavi Follows a Drop of Water
Kavi waters a thirsty plant 💧 and wonders, "Where does the water go?" So Kavi follows one drop. First the root drinks it from the soil, then the stem carries it up ⬆️ like a straw, then the leaf uses some to make food ☀️ — and the extra escapes into the air as vapor 💨. "Up and out — the water only travels ONE way! Come and follow the drop with me!"
