Daisy was in the bathroom of her flat. She was brushing her teeth and the tap was on.　 Water was pouring into the sink.

"Turn that tap off, " a voice said loudly. Daisy looked round， but saw no one. "Turn that tap off. You're wasting(浪费)water, " the voice sounded again.

"Who…who are you?" "I'm water.　 It's not easy for me to get here.　 Do you know where I'm from?"

"From the tap，of course. "said　 Daisy.

"Yes，yes, but before that?" the voice said.　 "24 days ago，I was in a cloud in Jiangxi，enjoying the sights comfortably. Then the cloud dropped me into a stream and I ran down the mountain into the Yangtze River. It carried me to a lake. I stayed 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 was surprised.

"Yes. I was dirty after my journey so they took me to a water factory. They gave me a cleaning and added a few chemicals(化学品)to me. Then I travelled in the pipes under the streets. I waited there until 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 plant(污水处理厂). Then they'll pour me into the river and I'll be back in the sea again. "

"Again?"

"Yes.　 That' s where I came from in the first place. Remember not to waste me or make me dangerously dirty. I' m precious(珍贵)like gold. See you. "

"Wait a minute. What do you mean by that?" But there was no answer. The water left.

1.How long was the water's journey from a cloud to the tap?

_______________________________________________________________

2.Where did water come from first?

_______________________________________________________________

3.What do you think of water? Why do you think so?
