When the cloud cooled down, it started raining. I became one of the raindrops.” “How did you come into my house then, Dripple?” “I fell into a river and eventually ended up in a reservoir. Then I went to a special place. There, people cleaned me and added some chemicals to me.” “They cleaned you? Why?” Du Yun asked. “Because I was a bit dirty.
