Back when the world was young, the rivers were a disgruntled lot. Their waters grew during the rains and shrunk during the summer, but overall they had flourished. The grew from miniscule streams at the tops of mountains into larger rivers meandering through wide, open plain. But to their dismay, their journey ended when they blended with the sea. The rivers were angry to their sweet waters tainted with the sea's salt complained about it endlessly. This naivete amused the sea greatly. Eventually, the amusement turned to anger and he suggested they find a different basin in which to dump their water. Suddenly they realized their blunder. "Oh no", they thought, "we'll dry up without the sea!" And so they made peace and continued to flow without complaint.
