00:00Once upon a time, three wonderful kings were leading their people on a big adventure through
00:05a wide sandy desert. It was hot, hot, hot, and after many days of walking, they ran into a big
00:13problem. Their water bottles were all empty. Everyone was super thirsty, and their tongues
00:18felt like little fuzzy cacti. The kings put their heads together. What are we going to do?
00:23They wondered. They needed a plan. And fast. Just when they were feeling a bit glum,
00:28they found a very wise man named Elisha. They hurried over to him and explained their predicament.
00:35Elisha, we're all so thirsty, and there's not a single drop of water left. Elisha smiled kindly
00:41and gave them a very peculiar task. He pointed to the dry, dusty valley and said,
00:47go and dig lots and lots of holes all over the ground. The kings looked at each other.
00:52Dig holes? But there were no clouds in the sky. It seemed like a silly idea. But they decided to
00:58trust a wise man. So, all the people grabbed their shovels and started digging. Dig! Dig! Dig!
01:05They worked together, making big holes and little holes, until the whole valley looked like a giant
01:11piece of Swiss cheese. Tired but hopeful, they all went to sleep for the night. The next morning,
01:17something amazing happened. When the people woke up, they couldn't believe their eyes. Every single hole
01:23they had dug was filled to the brim with cool, clear water. It was a miracle! Everyone cheered and
01:29laughed, taking big, refreshing drinks. Hooray! Now, far away, another group of people called the
01:37Moabites were watching from a hilltop. As the sun rose, it cast a beautiful red glow across the valley,
01:43making all the water in the holes look just like cherry juice. The Moabites squinted.
01:48Wow! They thought. It looks like those kings made a huge, sticky mess and then ran away.
01:55Curious, they decided to get a closer look. But when they got to the valley, they were so surprised.
02:01Instead of a mess, they saw all the people laughing, splashing, and happily drinking the wonderful water.
02:08The Moabites were very confused. This wasn't a mess at all. They just scratched their heads and decided
02:14to go back home. And so, the three kings and their people had all the water they needed.
02:19They learned that day that when you work together as a team and have a little bit of faith,
02:24even in a dry desert, wonderful and surprising things can happen.
