Daisy was in the bathroom alone. She was brushing her teeth and the tap was on. Water was 1 into the washbasin and vanishing(消失) down the drain.
"Turn that tap off," a 2 said loudly. Daisy was surprised. She looked around but saw no one. "Turn that tap off. You're wasting water!" The voice sounded impatient.
This time Daisy obeyed. "Who... Who are you?" Daisy's voice was shaking.
"I'm a drop of water. It's not 3 for me to get here. Do you know where I'm from?"
"From the tap, I think," said Daisy.
"Yes, but before that?" Water said. "A few days ago, I was staying 4 in a cloud in Jiangxi, enjoying the view. Then the cloud dropped me into a 5 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 travelled a long way and ran into the Huangpu River. Then it was time to get cleaned up."
"Cleaned up?" Daisy sounded puzzled.
"Yes. I was 6 after my journey, so they took me to a water treatment plant(净水厂). They gave me a thorough cleaning and added a few chemicals to me. Then I travelled in the pipes under the streets. I waited there 7 you called me, and here I am."
Daisy said, "So this is the end of your journey."
"No. When you've finished with me, I'll go to a sewage(污水) plant. Then they'll pump me into the river and I'll be 8 in the sea again."
"Again?"
"Yes. That's where I came from in the first place. Remember not to 9 me or pollute me. I'm precious(珍贵的), like liquid gold. See you."
"Wait a minute. What do you mean by liquid gold?" There was no 10. The water had gone.
