Today is Monday. The sun is warm. Tom wakes up early. Tom drinks cold water. He gets a paper. The paper is small. It is a bill. It is a water bill. Tom needs to pay. Tom opens his wallet. He sees some money. Tom gets his bag. He puts on shoes. The shoes are black. They are cotton shoes. Tom leaves his home. He walks on the street. The street is quiet. A small dog runs. The dog is happy. Tom smiles at it. Tom walks fast now. He sees a blue house. The blue house is small. This is the office. It is the water office. Tom opens the door. A bell rings softly. The room is clean. The room is quiet. A woman stands there. Her name is Anna. Anna works at the office. She wears a green shirt. The shirt is cotton. Anna smiles at Tom. Tom smiles at Anna. Tom says hello. Anna says hello too. Tom walks to the desk. The desk is brown. It is made of wood. Tom shows the paper. Anna takes the paper. She looks at the bill. Anna types on a computer. The computer is small. She checks the number. The water bill is low. Tom uses little water. Anna speaks to Tom. The price is ten dollars. Ten dollars is not much. Tom is very happy. Tom opens his bag. He takes out cash. He gives the money.
