Why Do Puddles Vanish Without Anyone Drinking Them?Puddles disappear because liquid water slowly turns into invisible water vapor and mixes with the air.
1. After a spring rain, Mina knelt beside the biggest puddle on her street. “Who drinks you when no one is looking?”
2. She set three smooth pebbles beside the puddle’s edge and hurried home for lunch. If the water moved, the pebbles would tell her.
3. When Mina returned, the pebbles had not moved, but the puddle had shrunk. No cup, paw, or thirsty mouth had been near it.
4. Mina touched the puddle with one finger. The water was cool and clear, but it had not told her where it was going.
5. The sun warmed the wet street. A soft breeze brushed past, and the puddle grew thinner at its edges, though nobody took a sip.
6. Mina carried a spoonful of puddle water to a saucer on her sunny windowsill. She placed a blue button beside it to watch over the tiny pool.
7. At bedtime, the saucer still held water, but there was less of it. Mina left it in the sun and went to bed still wondering.
8. By morning, the saucer was dry. The blue button was still there, and the window was closed. Mina knew the water had not been swallowed.
9. The puddle had vanished for the same quiet reason. Puddles disappear because liquid water slowly turns into invisible water vapor and mixes with the air.
