Note that both the examples above have both cohesion and adhesion occuring but one is stronger than the other. If the water molecules are more strongly attracted to each other than to the surrounding material, they bead up and try to get as close to each other as possible.

Adhesion, water's tendency to cling to certain substances, creates capillary actionThe tendency of water to rise through a narrow tube by the force of adhesion between the water and the walls of the tube.. In extremely narrow spaces, such as inside water vessels in the stem of a plant, water will actually rise...

Unusual and/or important properties of water include: high polarity, hydrogen bonding, cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat, and high heat of vaporization. water is, by far and away, the most common molecule that exists as a liquid at typical ambient Earth temperatures.
