Sprinkle and the Dent That Saved the Garden โ€” an animated bedtime story for kids

In the garden lived a dented watering can. Each morning he gave the flowers their drink. Then a tall shiny sprinkler arrived one day.

It sprayed far and sparkled in the sun. Everyone watched the sprinkler and forgot the can. Sprinkle sat dusty and still by the fence.

The old can felt a bit useless. A dry spell settled over the far corner. The sprinkler could not reach that thirsty patch.

The little flowers there began to fade. Sprinkle tipped and poured his own water. His dented side let him pour just right.

Now that far corner blooms the brightest.
