For three long months, a small tap in Claras kitchen had been dripping constantly. The annoying sound echoed through her quiet apartment every single night. Every second, a shiny drop of water fell into the stainless steel sink. Drip, drip, drip went the steady rhythm, driving Clara almost crazy. She had tried to ignore the noise by wearing warm cotton earplugs. She had also placed a soft linen towel inside the deep sink. However, the towel soon became completely soaked and smelled like damp cloth. Then, Clara placed a small blue bucket under the steady drip. She used the collected water to water her lovely green houseplants every morning. Still, the constant sound kept her awake during the quiet late hours. Clara knew that she needed professional help to solve the annoying problem. She decided to call Sam, the most famous repair worker in her neighborhood. Sam was known for his vast experience and friendly, warm smile. He repaired everything from solar water heaters to vintage bicycles. Unfortunately, Sam was extremely busy because many people needed his assistance. He promised Clara that he would visit her apartment as soon as possible.
