Luis threw the two backpacks on his back onto that wooden chair. "Do you have any more cleaning cloth?" Alison was stunned for a moment. Then, she said, "I'll wipe. The room hasn't been cleaned for almost a year, so it's pretty dirty." "Where's the cleaning cloth?" Luis asked again.

Alison looked at him and said, "Luis, what are you..." Hearing her words, Luis gave her a look. Then he picked up the broom and swept the water out of the yard.
