In the green city of Colombo, families lived near the river. Children played by its gentle stream.
But during the rainy season, the river would grow angrier and the skies turned gray.
Juliana watched the rain through the window, her heart worried about the rising water.
One day, the water crept up streets. It was time to act fast and stay safe!
Her family packed quickly. "We will stick together," Juliana’s dad assured them.
The community gathered in a safe place, everyone helped each other with kindness.
"We must keep our city safe," Juliana thought, her desire to help growing strong.
Juliana learned that trees help drink up water. "Let's plant more!" she exclaimed.
Time passed and ideas turned into actions. Walls were built and trees planted.
New parks gave homes to birds and flowers, and also protected the town from floods.
Colombo became stronger and ready to face the rain with new hope and courage.
"Together, we can overcome any challenge," said Juliana, the community all smiled.
