Mrs Mi is talking with her neighbor, Mrs Ha. She looks very worried but Mrs Mi doesn' t know what is wrong with her neighbor. Mrs Ha is worried about her water bill because it is enormous. She must pay 200.000 dongs for it. Therefore, Mrs Mi gives Mrs Ha advice on how to save water, She advises Mrs Ha to get her husband or a plumber to check her water pipes and to reduce the amount of water.
