There is no beggining to this. It's called the water cycle. It's a cycle so there's no beggining and no end. It's like saying, which came first? The chicken or the egg? There is no start and no end.
So I will just start at a random point in the water cycle.
Precipitation happens and can fall in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow.
The rain, hail, sleet or snow then either runs off into rivers and lakes or soaks in to the ground. If it runs off then the ground is either saturated and can't hold anymore water or if the ground in non-pourous (non-pourous means made out of something that can't soak water eg. concrete). If it soaks in, it becomes ground water.
Next, the sun evaporates the water in rivers, lakes, oceans ect. and the water in plants. The water vapour (which is the water as an invisible gas) rises and condenses.
The vapour then joins with other droplets to make a large water droplet. That large droplet clings itself to a billion small dust particles and form a cloud. When the cloud can hold no more water, precipitation happens again and the cycle starts ALL OVER AGAIN!!!
