up the slide,

in front of the house.
- Well, then let's go!
- So the water comes
off the roof
and falls straight down here.
- Look!
You can see the path it took
flowing downhill.
- And it goes this way
and stops at this crooked stone
in front of the step
because it can't go down
any farther.
- It's just like the pond
at the bottom of
the Whoosh and Whirl Waterways.
So if we give
the water a different way
to keep going down,
there won't be a puddle
here anymore.
- That's just what
I was thinking.
- Ingenious.
Creative. [laughs]
What exactly are we doing?
- We're making a path.
- A path for the water.
[gasps] It's working!
- Water likes to go down,
and it always finds
the easiest way.
- So now, you won't haveto worry
about stepping in a puddle
at the bottom of your steps.
- And you can go splash
in the puddle by the bushes!
- Yes!
In fact...
I think I'll try it out
right now!
- Oh, how clever you are.
You whooshed and your whirled,
and so now you both know:
if you're following water,
just go with the flow.
