Clara woke up early on a sunny Saturday morning. She walked into the kitchen to make hot herbal tea. Everything was peaceful until she heard a steady sound. A small tap in her sink was dripping softly. Drip, drip, drip, the sound echoed through the room. She turned the tap handle tightly to stop it. However, the slow dripping sound did not stop at all. I can fix this problem myself, Clara said out loud. She was proud of her practical skills around the house. She opened the low cupboard under the bright kitchen sink. Inside, she found her heavy green plastic toolbox instantly. Her companion cat, Oliver, watched her with big curious eyes. Oliver sat comfortably on a soft cotton rug nearby. Clara took out a metal wrench and a screwdriver carefully. She remembered that fixing taps was usually very simple. First, I must turn off the main water valve, she thought. She looked under the sink for the small metal valve. She turned a round knob to the right firmly. She believed that she had turned off the water completely. To check, she opened the tap normally once more. No water came out, so she felt very confident. That was easy, Clara whispered to her quiet cat.
