"God said, the water under the sky will gather to one place, and the dry land will appear ..." [Genesis 1:9]After the creation of the world, the water covered all the world.
The water stormed and raged, flowing and jumping, they were quiet and glowed with the sun.
But where will the son of man and animals live?The God said: " the water will gather to one place, they will assemble to the seas and to the rivers, and the dry land will appear."
As there will be order in the world - place for water and place for land.
The water retreated from the earth, and here the dry land which rising from inside the water seemed.
From the land mountains and hills rose, in it valleys sank, and hight was created, pathways and caves, ravines and canons.But then the water broke into, and the water in the crowd flooded all the low places.
The land trembled from fear - how can overcome upon water raging and powerful like these?
And what will be there if all will flood again?
And for what the water was gathered to sea, if they can again and again break into to there?The God saw the fear of the land, and said to grains of the sands, that were scattered in the crowd before the land.
" Go and help for the land.
You will be the border between the water and the land."
The grains of the sands were frightened: "We ? We are the grains of the small sands, will we be able to overcome and to stop all of the many and raging water as these ?
How will we be able to ?The one from grains of the more small sands stood, and hawked in his throat and said with sure voice:
Don't fear, my brothers of grains of the sands.
It is true that we are small, but if only all of us will unite - we will succeed even opposite the water.
On many and united grains like us, many water can not be also strong .
If only be acceptable - we will succeed and we will be the border between the water and the land.
"Will you agree to stand at first?" The grains of the sands asked it.
"I will agree." The grain said and straightened up his gold head.
His brother, the grains of the sands heared his words, they united and reversed to one lump .The water heared this, and smiled from the depth of them.
Still they seemed foolish grain, wave after wave were sent to them - and already with powdering them.
Then the water sent stormy waving to the land, and wave after wave was shattered to the coast.
Flooding and thundering in white foam.But grains of the sands stood in face to them like wall, and to water there was not select, and after continuous struggle retreated return to the sea.
The water saw courage and heart of grains of the small sands, and understood that it is very difficult to compete with courage and being united grains.
The water returned to sea, being rage and angry.From then the water is trying again and again, without the stop to cripple in the sands and to cinquer the ground and they can not.
