The Old Bike That Saves Water

Mia's family has an old blue bike.

It is not fast or new, but it is very useful.

Every morning, Mia rides it to the small garden near her school.

She carries two big bottles of water in a basket.

The garden has tomatoes, beans, and young trees.

Mia waters them before class starts.

Last year, the city had very little rain.

Many plants died, but Mia's garden stayed green.

Her teacher said, "You save water well." Mia smiled and said, "The bike helps me, too.

I do not use a car, so the air stays clean." Now, three friends ride with her every day.

They take turns carrying the heavy water bottles.

The small garden is growing, and so is their team.
