Water talk Daisy was in the bathroom. She was bricking her teeth and the tap was on. Water was pouring into the washbasin and vanishing down the drain. 'Turn that tap off,'a voice said loudly. Daisy froze. She looked around,but saw no one. 'Turn that tap off. You're wasting the water!'the voice sounded impatient.
This time Daisy obeyed. 'Who...who are you?'Daisy's voice was faint. 'I'm a drop of water. It is not easy for me to get here. Do you know where I am from?'
'From the tap,I suppose,'said Daisy. 'Yes,but before that?'Water said. 'A few days ago,I was floating comfortably in a cloud in Jiangxi,enjoying the view. Then the cloud dropped me into a stream and I sped down the mountain into the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River carried me to a lake. I relaxed there for a few days,and then I traveling a long way and ran into the Huangpu River. Then it was time to get cleaned up. '
'Clean up?'Daisy sounded puzzled. 'Yes. I was dirty after my journey so they took me to a water treatment works. The gave me a thorough cleaning and added a few chemicals to me. Then I travelled in the pipes under the streets. I waited there until you called me,here I am. '
Daisy said,'so this is the end of your journey. ' 'No. When you have finished with me ,I will go to a sewage plant. Then they will pump me into the River and I will come back in the sea again. ' 'Again?'
'Yes. That is where I came from in the first place .Remember not to waste me or pollute me. I am precious ,like liquid gold. See you. ' 'Wait a minute. What do you mean by liquid gold ?'But there was no reply. The water had gone.
Daisy came out of the bathroom. Her brother said,'who were you talking to?' 'I was talking to the water,'Daisy said. 'Sometimes you are strange,Daisy. 'Her brother said.
