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 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’s not easy for me to get here. Do you know where I’m 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 travelled a long way and ran into the Huangpu River. Then it was time to get cleaned up.’ ‘Yes. I was dirty after my journey so they took me to a water treatment works. 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 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. Then they’ll pump me into the river and I’ll be back in the sea again.’ ‘Again?’ ‘Cleaned up?’ Daisy sounded puzzled. 7 Read the text from line 12 to 29. cloud stream the Yangtze River lake water treatment works pipe Daisy’s bathroom sewage plant sea 7 8 Find proper words in the story to complete the flow chart of a water drop’s journey.
