Several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches.

\of the next century will be fought over water.\This latest warning comes from the World Bank, the largest international investor in water projects.
So is the world running out of the stuff? No. The total quantity of fresh water on the Earth exceeds all possible human needs. But tell that to the government of Jordan, which has drawn its underground water almost dry since Israel diverted much of its largest water source, the river Jordan. Or to the millions of women in the African countryside walking for hours every day to collect water from polluted wells and muddy river beds.
