    On a sunny day, the twins Korra and Henry were busy building sand castles. Their hands were full of sand and they laughed heartily, enjoying the playtime.

    After a long and fun day, they eventually fell asleep. As they slept, they started to have a weird and creepy nightmare.

    In their nightmare, Korra and Henry appeared with dirty hands looking evil and creepy. Instead of washing their hands, they played with the water, wasting it recklessly.

    Their mother asked them to wash their hands before eating, but they ignored her. They ate with their dirty hands, ingesting all kinds of dangerous bacterias and germs.

    Due to eating with dirty hands, Korra and Henry fell sick in their dream. This scared them and they screamed in horror, realizing it was a terrible dream.

    With a jolt, they woke up from their nightmare. Their mother was there, again asking them to wash their hands. This time, they listened to her.

    The twins started to wash their hands, feeling a sense of relief. The water washed away the sand and dirt, leaving their hands clean and sparkling.

    After washing their hands, they sat down to eat. They felt better, their hands were clean, and the food tasted even better.

    They also learnt the value of water. They stopped wasting water and started using it wisely. They understood that it was a precious natural resource.

    Not only did they learn the lesson, but they also shared it with their friends. They told everyone about the importance of washing hands and not wasting water.
