Water talk
Daisy was in the bathroom.She was brushing her teeth and tap was on.Water was pouring into the sink and vanishing down the down.
‘Turn that tap off’,a voice said loudly.daisy froze.She looked round,but saw no one .’turn that tap off’.you ‘re wasting water ,’ the voice sounded impatient.
Daisy obeyed.‘who…who are you ’daisy’s voice was faint.
‘I’m water.Lt’s not easy for me to get here .do you know where I’m from?’
‘Form the tap?’said daisy .
“yes,but before that ’the voice said .‘24 days ago,I wasfloating comfortably in a cloud in yunnan ,enjoying the view .then I was dropped into a stream by the cloud and sped down the mountain into the Dongjiang River .you know where that is,I hope’s daisy nodded.
‘well,I was carried to a reservoir.I relaxed there for a few days.Then it was time to get cleaned up’
‘cleaned up?’daisy sounded puzzled.
‘yes,I was dirty after my journey so they took me to a water treatment works.I was given a thorough cleaning and a few chemicals were added to me.Then I travelled in the pipes under the streets.I waited there until I was called by you,and here I am.’
I’ll be pumped into the river and go back in Daisy said ,‘so this is the end of your journey.’
‘no.when you’ve finishied with me,I ‘ll go to a sewage plant.Then to the sea again.
‘again?’
‘yes.that’s where I came from in the first place.Remember not to waste me or pollute me.I ’m precious,like liquid gold ’ but there was no reply .the water had gone .
daisy came out of the bathroom .her brother said ,‘I heard voices in there .who were you talking to ’
‘I was talking to the water .’daisy said.
Her brother shook his head.‘sometimees you’re weird ,daisy,’ he said ,‘relly weird.
