“Turn that tap off,” a voice said loudly. Daisy was shocked. She _______, but saw no one. “Turn that tap off. You’re _______ water!” The voice sounded impatient.
This time Daisy did it. “Who… who are you?”
“I’m a drop of water. It’s not _______ for me to get here. Do you know where I’m from?”
“From the tap, I suppose,” said Daisy.
“Yes, but before that? “ Water said. “A few days ago, I was flying comfortably in a cloud, enjoying the view from the sky. Then the cloud _______ me into a river and that river carried me to a lake. Then it was time to get cleaned up.”
“Cleaned up?” Daisy sounded doubled.
“Yes. I was _______ after my journey. So in order to make me safe to drink, people gave me a completely _______. Then I travelled in the pipes (管道) under the streets. I waited there _______ you called me, and here I am.”
Daisy said, “Is this the end of your _______?”
“No. When you’ve finished with me, I’ll be back in the sea again. That’s where I came from. Remember not to waste me or pollute me. I’m _______, like gold. See you.”
“Wait a minute. What do you mean by gold?” But there was no _______. The water had gone.
