Once there was a family of goats who lived near Uzbekistan. Within the family was a goat named Manny. One day his mother and father decided to take their children on a trip to the Aral Sea.

At the Aral Sea, while the family was playing, Manny spotted a rainbow shell in the water. Of course Manny wanted it! He soon found himself walking into the water to get the shell. When suddenly a current swept him away!

Nope.

Hey, has anyone seen Manny?

Help!

His family figured he headed back home so, they decided to go search for him back in Uzbekistan . When actually, Manny was headed on one of the biggest journeys of his life.

Maybe he's back home?

Where am I?

When Manny woke up, he noticed his surroundings and quickly began to panic. His family was no where to be seen. After calming down, he choose to settle there until his family came for him. He had no idea they were on their way to Uzbekistan to find him!

He was living off of shrubs and small freshwater near by. He couldn't drink from the sea because it was too salty. After living on the shore of the Aral Sea for about 15 years, Manny began to give up hope of ever getting back to his family. He also started to realize, the water from the sea was DISAPPEARING!

The sea wasn't this low when I got here.

One day, Manny became curious about the disappearing water and found a river that was feeding off of it. In an attempt to solve the mystery, he followed it. His once fearful self was left behind at the shore he lived on, and a new adventure arose. The Syr Darya River.
