“Well, yes, but a few days ago, I was in a cloud,” said Dripple. “Then the wind pushed the cloud up a mountain. 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. Then I travelled through the pipes under the streets and now I’m here,” Dripple explained.

“So is this the end of your journey?” Du Yun asked.
“No. People will clean me one more time. Then I’ll go into a river, and after that, I’ll return into the sea again.”
“Again?”
“Yes. My journey back to the clouds starts there. Remember not to waste or pollute me. I’m valuable.”
“I’m sorry, Dripple!” Du Yun came out of the bathroom
