Cat’s Cradle

Donald gets off the bus and heads home hoping to get a good night's sleep. At first, his plans for rest are disturbed by an open window shade which lets light from a flashing sign in. After that problem is dealt with, Donald is kept awake by a persistently dripping faucet. Donald tries to ignore it but after a while, it becomes aggravating to put it mildly.

At this point, Donald receives a call from his water company telling him he hasn't paid his water bill so they're cutting off his water!
