About this book

Español

La princesa del agua

Con su amplio cielo y su cálida tierra, el reino de la princesa Gie Gie es una tierra hermosa. Pero el agua potable escasea en su pequeña aldea africana. Y por mucho que lo intente, Gie Gie no puede acercar el agua; no puede hacerla correr más clara. Cada mañana, se levanta antes del amanecer para emprender el largo viaje hasta el pozo. En lugar de una corona, lleva una pesada olla en la cabeza para recoger el agua. Tras el viaje de regreso a casa, tras hervir el agua para beber y limpiarse, Gie Gie piensa en el viaje que le deparará el día siguiente. Y sueña. Sueña con el día en que su aldea tenga su propia agua fresca y cristalina.

English

The Water Princess

With its wide sky and warm earth, Princess Gie Gies kingdom is a beautiful land. But clean drinking water is scarce in her small African village. And try as she might, Gie Gie cannot bring the water closer; she cannot make it run clearer. Every morning, she rises before the sun to make the long journey to the well. Instead of a crown, she wears a heavy pot on her head to collect the water. After the voyage home, after boiling the water to drink and clean with, Gie Gie thinks of the trip that tomorrow will bring. And she dreams. She dreams of a day when her village will have cool, crystal-clear water of its own.
