THE WATER

I am the Miraflores River. But before being a river, I was a small puddle of water.

I was born in the middle of many stones and pebbles, in a mountain range so high, so high that it almost touched the sky, that's why it's called Serra do Céu (Sky Mountain).

With the help of the rain from the winters I grew, growing, growing... and jumping from rock to rock.

I walked a lot. On my banks have always grown many colorful flowers watered by me. I like them very much and admire them all the time, so they call me Miraflores.

I also like the children very much. I have fun when on hot days they come to me to play.

I like to go under the bridges and take boats full of people with me to get to know other lands and together we reach the sea.
