The story
After a shower, the child finds thirsty plants beside a full rain barrel. A gecko points out that a leaf blocks the watering spout. The grown-up clears it safely while the child measures the rain and shares water between the pots. New buds open, and the child makes a simple watering plan so the garden can thrive without wasting water.
