One morning a hill woke up late and was rushing around getting ready to go to work. “Shit, I can’t find my cell phone,” said the hill and turned toward the water. “Have you seen it?”

The water, who did not have to go in to work that day, was still in bed. “You shouldn’t talk so much on your cell phone anyway,” said the water. “It’s bad for your brain.”

“Thanks for your help,” said the hill, who slammed the door and tripped on the sidewalk on the way to the subway, which made the water feel guilty the rest of the day.
