Little by little the river became more like a lake and less like the mighty river that had once flowed through the valley. The dam not only changed life in the city, but gradually it also changed the river. Nothing would be impossible for them if they controlled the river by stopping it up with a great dam not even the changing of the seasons would effect the power produced by the dam.Īnd so the dam was built bringing all the promised benefits to the city.

The people of the city were convinced that the dam would provide them with an even greater supply of water and from the flow of water through the dam they would have an unlimited supply of power. In time an engineer presented a plan to build a dam.

Bridges were built to expand the city to both sides of the river. Some people developed a waterwheel to harness the power of the river. People built docks and parks along the river. The people living in the city are thankful for the river it satisfies their thirst and waters their crops giving them an abundance of food. As the river flows through the valley it is strong and mighty the river gives life to everything.Ī city is built along the river. The water sparkles as it makes its way down to the valley below. Imagine a river that begins high up in the mountains.
