Mr zhang had a big garden. There was a vegetable field and a big tree in it. B   the vegetables and the tree made the garden look beautiful. Mr Zhang watered his vegetables every day.
Mr zhang didn’t know that the vegetables in the field and the tree couldn’t get on well with (相处融洽)each other. The vegetables h   the tree. They thought that the tree did not leave them e   light. And the tree didn’t like the vegetables. He complained that the vegetables drank all the water b    it could get to him.
Then one day the vegetables got angry and they drank up all the w   in the ground. The tree had no water and dried up.(干涸). The tree fought back. He didn’t give the vegetables shade(树荫) any m    . Soon, they both began to dry up.
When Mr zhang saw his vegetables growing worse and worse, he t   his vegetables would die(死). So he stopped watering his vegetables. When Mr zhang did that, the tree and the vegetables really felt how t  they were. At the same time, the tree and the vegetables realized(意识到) it was better to help each other than to f   .
From then on, they worked together. They grew better and better. Mr Zhang was h   to see that. He started to water the vegetables again. And his garden was as beautiful as before.

People in developed countries usually get their drinking water from a faucet(水龙头) or a bottle. But finding safe drinking water can be rather d     in developing countries. People in India, for example, often drink polluted water, which can lead to illness or even d     . But one Indian company, Sarvajal, has i     a great machine: the “water ATM”. Sarvajal’s water filtering(水过滤) network has already p   clean water in more than 130 places. Many of these places are small v    . The water ATM is new and important part of Sarvajal’s business.
How do these water ATMs w     ? First, local workers filter water using Sarvajal’s equipment(设备). Then workers s      the clean water to the ATMS and sell prepaid(预付款) cards to local people. Then they can e     get water form the ATMs with the cards.
Thanks to Sarvajal’s network and water ATMs, clean water is now a     to over 70,000 people in India. It makes sense that in one of the local l      Sarvajal means “water for all”.
