Episode 33: The dripping tap

Michal:

Hey Tim, what are you doing?

Tim:

I’m fixing this tap. I can’t put up with that drip-drip noise anymore.

Michal:

Have you turned off the water?

Tim:

I told you. That’s what I’m working on.

Michal:

I mean the main water supply? Have you cut it off?

Tim:

No, I haven’t. Stop worrying and let me get on with this.

Michal:

I don’t think you should carry on doing that!

Tim:

It’s okay, just one more turn of the spanner.

Michal:

I really think you should stop.

Tim:

Oh, go away Michal. You’re putting me off. One more turn and then … aaaaaargh! Oh no! Michal! Help! Stop the water! Aaaaaargh!
