Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Both elements are considered to be highly combustible in the presence of heat energy. But they come together to form a substance that will put out fire.

The Mississippi River flows north, I am sure you know most rivers flow south. ...There is a southern joke about this being because the north sucks but I will leave that out.
Update: For Greys answer which was great...the ending could be "Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink"

- About 70% of the human body is comprised of it; it's in the air we breathe (water vapor, humidity).
- It's a liquid, consisting of two gasses (hydrogen & oxygen).
- It's probably the most common substance on earth; it exists in space (comets); we take it for granted; no living thing can exist without it.
- It is probably one of the most threatened resources on our planet, today.
- In its pure form, it is tasteless, odorless, and colorless, yet it has been called the Universal Solvent.

it's the only liquid that expands with cold, while everything else contracts, due to crystalization. The celsius scale is based upon the freeze point of water,(0c) and the boil point of water (100c). Water boils faster if you add only a few crystals of salt to it, yet if you make it salty it takes forever to boil. Hope it helps.
