Lily: Hi, Rangers! I'm Lily. This is Rangers Radio... the story you can hear, even with no screen.
Lily: I tasted the water by the shore. Blech! Salty! We can't drink that.
Lily: Noor points at the sun. She says: the sun can help us. No fire needed!
Ricky: This one is called sun drops. A grown-up sets it up, because the plastic and the sun get hot. Kids watch from one step back.
Lily: Step one. A grown-up pours the salty or dirty water into a big bowl.
[SFX: pour]
Lily: Step two. A clean, empty cup goes in the middle. The top of the cup stays above the water.
[SFX: clink]
Lily: Step three. Plastic wrap goes over the top, tight. Then one small stone in the center, right above the cup.
[SFX: wrap]
Ricky: The sun warms the water. Little drops form on the plastic. They slide down to the stone... and drip into the cup.
[SFX: drip]
Lily: Step four. Drink only from the cup. Never the bowl!
Ricky: It is slow. Set it up early in the day. You get a little water, not a lot.
Lily: Let's say it again, Rangers. Slowly.
Lily: One... a grown-up sets it up. Plastic and sun get hot.
Lily: Two... salty water in a big bowl, a clean cup in the middle.
Lily: Three... plastic wrap on top, a small stone in the center.
Lily: Four... drink from the cup, never the bowl.
Lily: Sun goes up, drops come down. Clean drops in the cup, safe and sound!
Lily: Sun goes up, drops come down. Clean drops in the cup, safe and sound!
[SFX: claps]
Ricky: Great job, Rangers. See you tomorrow.
Lily: No screen? Listen free on Rangers Radio.
